From Parallel Waves:         before Perk Up   after Circulate   after 1/2 Split Circulate   after Ends Circulate twice as Centers Hinge, Circulate & Trade (done)

From Parallel Inverted Lines:         before Perk Up   after Circulate   after 1/2 Split Circulate   after Ends Circulate twice as Centers Hinge, Circulate & Trade (done)

Notes:

• For historical reasons, Perk Up may occasionally be called from an Eight Chain Thru. The first Circulate is a Pass Thru; the 1/2 Split Circulate is replaced with Outsides 1/4 Right (or as directed) as Centers 1/2 Circulate (Touch). We believe this usage should be avoided.
• Dancers often confuse Perk Up with Percolate [C1] since both calls sound similar and start with a Circulate. In order to help other dancers within the square, some dancers yell 'Up' for Perk Up and 'O-Late' for Percolate.

anything Perk Up [C2]: The anything call replaces the first Circulate.
