This "quick tutorial" introduces the general idea of a call and explains the most common cases. It does not explain or illustrate all cases. For additional details and/or examples, refer to the links in the "MORE INFO" box.
A Hinge is half of a Trade. A Partner Hinge is half of a Partner Trade. The two dancers start to move as if they were going to do a Partner Trade, but stop halfway through, taking right hands.
Note that while many callers will say "Single Hinge" in the case of a mini-wave, and "Partner Hinge" in the case of a couple, the call Hinge applies equally well to either. And in any situation where two dancers are standing side by side, the meaning of "Hinge" is the same as half of a Trade in the same situation.
