Key

Basic Terms
R = Right Foot
L = Left Foot
LOD = line of dance (counter-clockwise or ccw)
RLOD = reverse line of dance (clockwise or cw)
C = center
f = fwd
d = diagonal
dl = diagonal left
dr = diagonal right
fC = forward to Center
fc = face or facing
sd = Side
b = behind
tg = together
x =cross
crl = circle
cl = Closed (as in closing the R foot to the L)
clk = click step such as found in Carlama or Gavotte D'Honneur
lp = leap
lf = lift
hp = hop (Rhp,Lsd,Rcl = hop,step,step to the right)
jp = jump
stp = stamp (no weight)
stomp = stomp (with weight - not used extensively)
sk = skip
run = run, as in "run 4"
RF = right foot
LF = left foot
t = toe
h = heel
kn = knee
tch or tc = touch
tch&Rf or tc&Rf = touch right toe forward, then follow by stepping forward on right
br = brush
pt = point (point toe)
pch = punch, as in a toe punch
sh = shuffle, as in a tap shuffe step
sl = slap, as in a tap slap step
kc = kick
cg =chug, as in a chug step, fcg being a forward chug & bcg being a backwards chug
sm = small
lg = large
lw = lower
up = rise
wk = walk, as in wk4 = "walk 4"
vine or vn = vine as in vn4f or "vine 4 crossing forward first (sd, xf, sd, xb)"
vine or vn = vine as in vn4xf or "vine 4 beginning with a crossing forward (xf, sd, xb, sd)"
(s) or S = slow
(q) or q = quick
(!q) or !q = snycopated quick step
(q!) or q!2S = very fast 2step, as in a polk
(q!!) or q!!2S = very, very fast 2step, as in a triplet
(q!!) or lwq!!2S = a sinking triplet as you find in the 3rd part of Gocino Kolo
bg = begin
ed = end
2S or 2Step = 2-Step (as in L,R,L moving in some specific direction)
pk = polka step (as in L,R,L moving in some specific direction)
4x = four times (repetitions)
! = emphatically
cl = closed position
op = open position
var = varsouvienne position

pdb = pas-de-basque [left]: (xRf, Lpl, Rsd) or (Lsd, xRf, Lpl)
expdb = extended pas-de-basque as found in Romanian dances:
[right with beginning side step] Rexpdb: (Rsd, xLf, Rpl, Lfsd, Rpl, xLf, Rpl)
[right with beginning crossing step] Rexpdb: (xLf, Rpl, Lfsd, Rpl, xLf, Rpl)
[pdb is used here for a wide range of similar movement.
In this context, it can begin with either a side, a cross, or a lift.
lift-pdb or lfpdb = begins with a lift;
pdb-lift or pdblf = ends with a lift;]

Aggregated Terms
xRb = cross right behind
xLf = cross left forward
Rsd = step sideways on right
Rlift = lift with weight on right
Lf(rock) = sway forward onto left
RlfL = step on right, lift Left
LlfR = step on left, lift right
Rtg = step on right directly next to left
Rpdb = pas-de-basque right (xRf, Lpl, Rsd)
fdl = forward diagonal left
bdr = back diagonal right
Lf2S = left forwards 2-Step (L,R,L)
Lb2S = left backwards 2-Step (L,R,L)
Lsd2S = left sideways 2-Step (L,R,L) as in a basic csardas step
(b-ch) = ball-change
f(b-ch) = a forward ball change, meaning you'd rock fwd & then back
xf(b-ch) = a ball change beginning with a forward cross; same as: (xLf, Rpl)
Lptfdr = "point left toe forward diagonal right"
Lptbdl = "point left toe back diagonal left"
ptxLf = "point Left toe crossing forward"
