This will give each weak person a strong corner, and will provide each part of the square with strong dancers when doing calls. So if you and other couples visit a dance where the level is higher than you are used to, if you dance together be sure to square up across form each other. Likewise, if two new graduates dance in your square, be sure that you and the other strong couple square up across from each other. Keep your head raised. This lets you see what is going on.
Many people dance looking down at the floor, and thus are out of touch with the square as a whole.
Keep the square small. Large squares break down much more often than small squares. One way to keep the square small is to touch hands immediately after every call. Remaining couples join hands and take a step backward. This will allow the injured person and attendant air and room 3.
