Ok, i'm sure i'm not the only one, but there are a bunch of abbreviations used for song names, and i looked in the dictionary and none of them are there. Like LoM, PSM, and i'm not sure if this is an abbreviation but Meh... E19.gif I cant think of any more right now, but if anyone has any other abbreviations please post them here and what they stand for. Thanks.

SDG means single digit greats, which means under 10 greats on a song. A crossover is when you make your one leg cross over your other leg instead of double stepping kinda like left.gif down.gif right.gif your right leg would be on down and you would use your leg for the other two. Ghost stepping is what you do to keep the beat. Like on light you would keep stepping in between notes to keep the beat and help your PA.

I dunno about SDM but SDG is "single digit great" and is pretty much what it sounds like, all perfects except a great count in the single digits (i.e. 9 steps or less away from a AAA).

Crossovers are (basically) any set of steps where one of your feet goes from one arrow to an arrow on the opposite side of the pad. Often the word "crossover" is synonymous with "pivot", when you have a combination like L,D,R where if you alternate feet you hit the right arrow with your left foot. Although I take the two to mean different things (a pivot is a type of crossover, but not all crossovers are pivots E15.gif ), they're often interchangable. I refer to those particular combinations as pivots because it sounds fairly appropriate considering the movement involved (although...I guess, you're not really pivoting, at least I don't anyways, it's more of a turn of the body than on the foot).

er...something erm.gif
