Let's record which hack tips were done each graduation! Target = who was hacked (who danced that tip)
Semester / Year | Target | Patter / Singer | Hack | Description and Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Spring 2014 | Club | Patter | Undo (Memento) |
Spin Chain & Exchange the Gears. Now UN-Spin Chain & Exchange the Gears. Very hard. |
Spring 2014 | Club | Singer | Musical Squares | "Find a new square after each promenade". IMO, it was hilarious, but also involved lots of crashing into other couples, and you didn't stay with your original partner. |
Spring 2014 | Class | Patter | Phantom Gemini (one handed) | Heads had right hands available, sides had left hands available. |
Spring 2014 | Class | Singer | "Swap Chain 4" | Requires even number of squares and special choreo. The girls moved into the next square on the modified Eight Chain 4 by walking across instead of being courtesy turned (do your part Swap Around). Boys did their part swap around (or run). Boys stayed in same square so we knew where to promenade to. At the end, everyone ended up at home with original partner. |
2013 | Club ? | Singer | Bag on head (eg Blindfold) | 1 person in each square started with a paper bag over their head (eg blindfold). Bag was passed along to next dancer on swing&promenade. I don't believe each dancer got bagged and one person had it for an extra time because of the mid-singer break. |
Fall 2013 ? | Club ? | Patter | Go | "Go" defined as list of 5 calls (swing through, boys run, wheel and deal, veer left, crossfire?) |
2013 ? | Club ? | Special call defined- I think it was like acey deucey but new centers partner tag | ||
2012 or 2013 ? | Class | Patter ? | Phantoms (Chair) | Replaced 1 dancer in each square with a wheeled office chair |
Spring 2013 | Class | Patter ? | Accreting Mass | Start off with 1 club member in flagpole center, gradually (or quickly) accumulate more people in the center. Class has to work around the chunk of people in the middle |
2012 or 2013 ? | Class ? | Patter | Telephone | Ted spoke into his cell phone instead of using the mic. The dancers had to join the conference to hear the calls. |
2012 or 2013 ? | Club | Floor is lava | Taped-off areas on the floor that you were not allowed to touch while doing the calls. | |
? 2013 | Club | Singer ? | Stuffed animals | Each dancer held a small stuffed animal. The stuffed animals got to do the dance actions instead of the dancers. |
2011 or 2012 | don't recall | Singer | Ballons | Each girl had a balloon on a ribbon, tied around their wrist. The strings get tangled as the singer progresses. |
Spring 2011 | Class | Singer | Parasitic Gemini | 1 or more club members pick a dancer to gemini with (nonconsentually). Then switch to a new dancer a few calls later. |
Spring 2011 | Class | Patter | Limbo | Two club members hold rope parallel to floor. Dancers have to duck or step over rope when moving around. |
