I love dancing square dance; that’s hardly a secret to anyone by now. And for those who don’t know already, it involved learning a certain amount of movement-patterns that will then be carried out when particular words are called; the name of the movement. A lot of them have really funny names and this is my top ten for funny names.
10 Slip the Clutch
9 Box the Gnat
8 Motivate
7 Cast a Shadow
6 Cut the Diamond
5 Flip the Hourglass
4 Explode the Line
3 Checkmate the Column
2 Spin Chain and Exchange the Gears
1 Pass and Roll your Neighbour
