Call index

Every call in the 2026 Mainstream program, in the order this book teaches them, with the formation each starts from and its timing.

Only the starting formation is listed, and that is not an omission. The formation a call FINISHES in is part of its definition and is given on each call page's At a glance table, which is the place to look. A dash in the beats column means this call has no animation yet — see animations index.
