This schedule is subject to change based on actual attendance at the dance. The distribution of hours to higher programs was determined by the number of pre-registered dancers at each program.

Special Programs

Wicked Hard (Take No Prisoners): This will be hard dance-by-definition Plus or A2 dancing. The Plus session is a taste of what Ted calls for Tech Squares. Note that if your square breaks down, everyone should go home, rather than form lines.
Fast Track (Hot Hash): This is fast, smooth, high-energy dancing with no time to recover.
High C: Starting at C2 and moving up as high as the floor will support.
Showcase of Caller: This is our opportunity to showcase some of the other callers at the dance.
- C1 Showcase of Callers will feature Andy Latto, Brian Hanechak, Guy Steele, and Marc Tanner.
- Plus Showcase of Callers will feature Bill Ackerman, Leonard Fisher, Alan Hirsch, and Bill again.

Flourishes & Fluff: At Boston Uncommons we like to flourish as we dance. Our flourishes are a mixture of those found in gay square dancing and those done at our sister club, Tech Squares. We will introduce some of the following flourishes in a brief session Friday evening. Others you may have to pick up on your own.

Scoot back (Tech): Tech has a fun two-handed flourish where you give weight when you interact.
Triple Scoot, and Scooting between squares (Tech): We like "Scoot back" so much that we do it between squares and between halves of the formation.
Weave the ring (Gay): The gay clubs have a different flourish from Tech, which we will introduce you to.
Right & Left Grand (Tech): At Tech, the ladies customarily twirl under the arm of every-other gent in grand right and left.
Circle 4 to a line: Gay clubs often cheat, and just slide out to a line. Tech usually circles and makes the outside lady twirl underneath.
Square Thru (Gay and Tech): Tech has a habit of not letting go. . . who will win? Gay groups add extra twirls.
Inactive couples on "promenade half way" (Tech or Gay): Tech often does a swing where gay dancers do a highland fling. You may get to do both.
Grand Square (Gay and Tech): Hmm, these are both hard to describe. Just follow your partner and you'll have fun.
