I never call proper dances, but why wouldn't you call them the Lark's line and the Robin's line? Have them all face you, hold hands with your

Before the rise to prominence of larks and robins, callers and dance transcriptions would occasionally refer to the gents'/ladies' line as the line in which gets/ladies would line up for a proper dance.
Should this now rarely used designation be declared obsolete or deprecated, or should we now occasionally refer to the gents' and ladies' lines
