Multiple Setups Working Every Which Way But Loose
This CD contains 52 sequences which theme the C4 concept, Multiple Setups Working Everywhichway. It includes both quadruple and triple setups, and the tracks are organized in the following way:
1-5 Quadruple Setups Working Left, Right, Forward and Backward
6-10 Quadruple Setups Working Together, Apart
11-15 Triple Setups Working Left, Right, Forward and Backward
16-20 Triple Setups Working Together, Apart
21-25 Quadruple Setups Working Clockwise, Counterclockwise
26-30 Triple Setups Working Clockwise, Counterclockwise
31-35 Triple Setups working Together, Apart from a 1x8 starting setup
36-52 Generalized sequences using all of the above setups
These groupings are, arguably, in increasing order of difficulty. You should not expect to dance these sequences perfectly the first time through, or even the second!
General Discussion of the Concept
The basic idea of this concept is to take your particular setup and pair it up with an adjacent setup to form a 2x4 matrix in which to work. For example, say you're the lead end in parallel right-hand waves, and the call is
Quadruple boxes working right.
You should immediately realize that the overall matrix is 2x8, and that your particular box is the second one from your left. There are only two boxes adjacent to your box, the one to your left and the one to your right. Since the caller said "working right", you would pair up your box with the box to your right to form a 2x4 in which to execute the call. Hence, in this case, you'd be working in normal waves, the 2x4 matrix in the center of the overall 2x8 matrix.
Note that just because you're working in the center 2x4 doesn't necessarily mean that all real people in your box are working in the same matrix. In this case, your original partner is working in split phantom boxes.
One other point. Remember, your only choices are those setups that are adjacent to yours. This means that if you're in the outside setup, say the outside wave of a 3x4 matrix, there's only one setup that's adjacent to yours. So that's the one you'd pair up with your setup. Hence, the terms "Left, Right, Together, etc." don't affect you.
Together and Apart
Let's change the example slightly. Make it:
Quadruple boxes working Together
You still have the same two choices since they're the only boxes adjacent to yours. This time you want to pair up your box with one that is closer to you, personally - that's what the term "Together" means, pick the closer option. (On the contrary, "Apart" means to select the one that's farther from you, personally.) Note that you're not looking for the option that's closer or farther from your box, but from you personally.
In this example, you'd work with the box to your outside, which means you'd work in split phantom boxes.
Clockwise and Counterclockwise
Let's modify the example again to:
Triple waves working Clockwise
The idea here is to picture a line extending from the center of the set through your body and off into space. Now move that arm in the direction indicated, in this case Clockwise. The first other setup the line hits is the setup you're to pair up with your original setup.
In the example above, let's say you're the center of triple right-hand waves. On the above call, you'd pair up your wave with the one behind you.
