We'll use some concepts that we saw in earlier columns about formations and formation awareness. We'll also look at ways you can help keep your Square from breaking down in the first place. As an individual dancer, you must realize when you're lost or mistaken, and accept help when it's given. Always listen carefully to the caller, who will often give you hints or cue you through the difficult parts. Another individual thing to watch is body flow.
Square dancing ought to have smooth body flow, and most of the time it does.
If you don't know where to go, chances are you should keep moving slowly in the direction that you've been going. If you were turning to the right, keep turning to the right. By slowing down, you give someone else a chance to help. If you know that you're lost and there's no one to help you, look for the square's symmetry. If you're a head boy, know who the other head boy is.
