From a Wave, applicable Line of 4, or applicable Diamond.
Centers Arm Turn 1/4 as the Ends move up 1/4 of a Circle
around the center point of the 4-dancer formation
(i.e., Ends do your part Fan The Top).
Usually ends in the same formation, but rotated 90°.
Notes:
-
The Centers must start in a Mini-Wave. The Centers' part is an
Arm Turn 1/4, not a Hinge. It is inappropriate for a caller to call
Lockit when both Centers are facing the same direction.
-
Think of Lockit as a 'short' Fan The Top
(Centers turn only 1/4 instead of 3/4).
-
From a Two-Faced Line, Lockit is identical to Couples Hinge.
-
From a Tidal Wave, Tidal Two-Faced Line (As Couples Wave),
or Point-to-Point Diamonds, Lockit is identical to
Split Counter Rotate 1/4.
