C-1 Singing Call figures

Disclaimer: I haven't done proofreading. It is possible
that these may include a typo or two, and it is possible that some
calls that were once on the C-1 list have since been dropped
(although I've included substitutions for Curlique/Curlicross where
not already included). You may want to call these figures to a
strong C-1 group to verify their correctness and/or list-accuracy.

General Disclaimer: These are not intended to be "Easy" or
"Vanilla" C-1. Most of these figures go beyond the standard
applications of the calls. The first few times through each figure,
the choreography is unlikely to seem smooth and flowing, because the
dancers will need to stop and think, or stop and see the formation.
Once familiar, it should be possible to dance each figure in about
48 beats of music, leaving 16 beats (2 musical tag lines) for the
Swing and Promenade. Only the easiest and least-interesting figures
would be appropriate "cold" in a singing call.
