Clark Baker's C2 Teaching Order

This schedule teaches C2 in 14 sessions of 7 tips each. Generally the first tip is used to review the previous week's calls, the next 5 tips are used to teach one call or concept per tip, and the last tip is used for practice and dancing.

Each session contains one concept and four calls -- usually two 4-dancer calls and two 8-dancer calls. The teaching and review load is mostly balanced across the sessions. Calls which are easily confused are spaced at least two sessions apart. Calls and concepts which need more practice are located towards the beginning of the teaching order.

Not all the variations listed will be taught at the time the initial call is taught -- they will be introduced when the dancers have mastered the base call.

Changes I would make next time I use this:

  • Space Exchange and Unwrap further apart. Dancers got confused.
  • Dancers should learn Parallelogram before Offsets.
  • Teach Detour early. Keep it away from "centers" calls.
