1.1: COUPLESWithin a squared set, the couples facing directly toward and away from the caller and music are called the Heads, and the dancers facing in the perpendicular direction are called the Sides. When referring to them as couples, the terms Head Couples and Side Couples are commonly used. In cases where the caller wants to refer to individual dancers, terms like Head Girls (the girls who are members of head couples) and Side Boys (the boys who are members of side couples) are also used.
Couples are also assigned Couple Numbers, starting from the couple with their backs to the caller/music and going in promenade direction. "Couples 1 and 3" means the same thing as "Head Couples". "Couples 2 and 4" means the same thing as "Side Couples".
