Scillian Circle: This is not a recognized CALLERLAB formation. But it is a useful tool to teach from. This is only one type. Another is where the dancers, as a couple, are facing another couple. But all are in a circle. The caller will use calls that require only two couple. The caller can circulate the dancers to a new couple. NOTE: From the above formation, the caller can call Star Thru, Pass Thru, Star Thru. This has rotated one dancer Counter Clock Wise and the other dancer Clock Wise. Thereby changing partners and mixing couples. facing
