Usage: This could be called a mixer or if you prefer just a big circle dance. Most mixers move the dancers to just one new partner each time through the music. Red Wind Mixer moves each dancer four positions around the circle. It will work to almost any strongly phrased singing call record with a 4/4 beat such as a march tune. Please do not use 2-step styling singing calls.
