From Parallel Two-Faced Lines or Promenade (where those designated act as Leaders).
Leaders Cast Off 1/4 using the Outside dancer as the pivot point
(Out Anchor 1/4),
Roll and
Press Ahead as
the Trailers 1/2 Circulate and
Cross Fire.
Ends in Parallel Waves.
Hint: From Promenade, the designated Couple (those acting as
Leaders) should continue Promenading until squared off to a wall and then
1/2 Press Ahead as the others bend in behind them to form Parallel Two-Faced
Lines, then everyone Link Up. Dancing the call in this manner guarantees that
the ending formation will be squared off to the walls.
Note: some people believe that Promenade is a legitimate starting formation
for any call that can be done from Parallel Two-Faced Lines and is defined
in terms of Leaders and Trailers. The calls commonly used in this way include
Cast A Shadow,
Link Up,
and
Wheel The Ocean | Sea.
The following calls (C3 and below) could also be called from Promenade:
Link Up But anything (Linking anything) [C4] (David Schmitz):
From Parallel Two-Faced Lines.
Leaders Link Up as Trailers Step Ahead to form a compact formation ("normalize")
and do the anything call.
This is analogous to Busy anything [C3B].
direction Anchor fraction [C4]:
From a Couple.
Using the dancer nearest the given direction as the pivot point, Cast
Off the given fraction toward the given direction. The
pivot dancer starts and ends on the same floor spot. There is neither a
default direction nor a default fraction for this call.
