Country Dance Terms and Glossary

GLOSSARY OF C/W LINE DANCE & FIXED PATTERN PARTNER DANCE TERMINOLOGY

Prepared By CDL with help from Kelly Gellette and Bobby Curtis (Edited March 1 998)

The terminology in this glossary are mostly in accordance with NTA guidelines, however this is not the NTA Glossary. That glossary includes terms (mostly for free style couple dancing) that are not included here, and this glossary includes terms (mostly necessitated by the prim medium) that are not included in the NTA glossary.

Note: a.k.a. (also known as) terms are included for reference purposes for step descriptions published in the past or already prepared for future publication, as well as to allow for interpretation of many regional terminologies. Several cross references refer to similar moves and not to other names for the same move.
