0. Identify the center point of your setup.

   The center point of your setup is the very center point of the square (commonly called the "flagpole center") except in the following cases:

   1. If you are in a 2 x 4 formation and are in Lines, the center point is the Center of each Box (i.e., work Split). If you are in a 2 x 4 T-Bone, the center point for the Column dancers is the flagpole center, whereas the Line dancers are working Split.
   2. If Rotate is preceded by the term Split, then divide your formation into two equal subformations. The center point is the Center of your subformation. From a 2 x 4, Split means to divide the setup into two 2 x 2s, not two 1 x 4s.
   3. If Rotate is preceded by the name of a formation in which to work, the center point is the Center of that formation. For example, from Columns consider 'Each Column Single Rotate 1/4'. In this case, the center point is the Center of the 1 x 4 setup.
1. Turn 1/4 relative to that center point according to the following rules:

   Rotate	As Couples 1/4 To Promenade
   Reverse Rotate	As Couples 1/4 To Reverse Promenade
   Single Rotate	Individually 1/4 To Promenade
   Reverse Single Rotate	Individually 1/4 To Reverse Promenade

   
   

   1/4 To Promenade

   Turn 1/4 so that your left shoulder is toward the Center of your formation.

   1/4 To Reverse Promenade

   Turn 1/4 so that your right shoulder is toward the Center of your formation.

2. Counter Rotate the given fraction around that center point.

   From a Squared Set, active dancers work around the outside of the set. The inactive dancers should move into the center of the set.

From a 2 x 2.

Ends in a 2 x 2.

From applicable formations.

1. Zig-Zag;
2. Counter Rotate 1/4;
3. Roll.

Sidetrack is a 3-part call.

Single Sidetrack [C3B]: From a 1 x 4 Column. Zig-Zag; Lockit (i.e., Counter Rotate with respect to the 1 x 4); Roll. Ends in a Single Double Pass Thru.

Split Sidetrack [C3B]: From a 2 x 4 or 1 x 8 Column. Zig-Zag; Split Counter Rotate 1/4; Roll.

Split Split Sidetrack [NOL]: From appropriate formations. Split the setup twice to work with one other dancer (who must be in your Generalized Tandem position). Zig-Zag; Hinge (i.e., Counter Rotate with respect to the 1 x 2); Roll.

In the Single version of a call, each dancer executes the movement that would normally be done by a set of two dancers within the normal version of the call. Hence, for a call to have a Single version, it must be possible to group all dancers into sets of two, in which the dancers in each set are always facing the same direction thoughout the given call. The dancers in each set are usually dancing their portion of the call As Couples, In Tandem, Once Removed, or Twosome (or some combination of these concepts).

You can think of Single as replacing each set of two dancers with a single dancer located exactly half-way between the two dancers. This single dancer then executes the given call always staying on a path located exactly half-way between where the two dancers would be in the normal version of the call.

From a 2 x 8 Matrix.

1. Trade The Deucey;

A Trapezoid is a Distorted 2 x 2 that can be formed from a normal 2 x 2 after any two adjacent dancers each move a distance of one matrix position directly away from each other.

From a 2 x 4, there are two Trapezoids. The Ends of one side work with the Centers of the other side within a Distorted Box.

Triple formations Working direction is a precise way to state how to do some 12-Matrix calls.

This concept allows for 8-dancer calls to be done from Triple formations such as Triple Boxes | Columns | Diamonds | Lines | Waves. Normally from these formations we are limited to 4-dancer (or fewer) calls, since each sub-formation (Box, Column, Diamond, Line, or Wave) contains only four spots.

On Triple formations Working direction, each dancer selects a subset of eight (out of 12) spots in which to work. The dancers within the outside Triple formations must always select to work within the four spots in their Triple formation and the four spots in the center Triple formation. The dancers in the center Triple formation work with the four spots in their Triple formation and the four spots in the outside Triple formation which is toward the given direction. If the direction is forward, the Center dancers work with the outside Triple formation which they are facing. If the direction is backward, they work with the outside Triple formation which is behind them. If the direction is Right (or Left), they work with the outside Triple formation which is toward their Right (or Left). If the direction is Together, they work with the outside Triple formation that is closest to them. If the direction is Apart, they work with the Triple formation that is furthest from them.

From applicable formations.

1. Trade;
2. Counter Rotate 1/4;
3. Hinge.

Ends in various formations. Turn The Key is a 3-part call.

From applicable 4-dancer (and 8-dancer) formations.

Replace each Arm Turn 1/2 (i.e., Swing or Slip) with a Partner Trade and do the given call. (E.g., Two-Faced Spin The Top would start from a Two-Faced Line and would be a Partner Trade; Fan The Top.)

A Twosome consists of two dancers working as a unit and obeying the following set of rules:

1. Throughout the given call, dancers retain their geographical orientation in the square with respect to the other dancer in their Twosome unit. This means that a dancer who started on the north side of their Twosome unit must always remain on the north side throughout the entire call.
2. The two dancers in the Twosome unit are working as if they are one dancer. Therefore, as with concepts such as Tandem, As Couples, or Solid, never allow any other dancers to come between or break up the Twosome unit. The dancers within the Twosome unit must always be facing the same direction.

The caller will usually designate who is to work as a Twosome by saying Couples Twosome, Tandem Twosome, or Siamese Twosome. If it is unambiguous as to which dancers are paired, the caller may simply say Twosome.

From Eight Chain Thru, from the formation obtained from a Static Set after Heads Pass Thru, or from other applicable formations.
