Weave [C1] (Lee Kopman 1974): From a Mini-Wave Box (or applicable T-Bone 2 x 2) or a Single Eight Chain Thru. Pass Thru or Step Thru; Ends turn 1/4 in place toward the shoulder just passed as Centers, using the opposite hand as the shoulder just passed, do an Arm Turn 1/4. Ends in a Wave.

From a Mini-Wave Box:       before Scoot & Weave   after Scoot Back   after Weave (done)

From a Single 1/4 Tag:       before Scoot & Weave   after Extend & Arm Turn 1/2   after Weave (done)

Notes:

• Weave is like an Any Hand 1/4 Thru, except that you don't touch the first dancer, and the resulting Centers touch the other Center dancer only for the last 1/4 turn.
  • From a R-H Mini-Wave Box, Weave is like a 1/4 Thru.
  • From a L-H Mini-Wave Box, Weave is like a Left 1/4 Thru.

  The difference between Weave and 1/4 Thru is that there isn't much hand contact in a Weave.

  • On a 1/4 Thru, Arm Turn 1/4 then the Centers Arm Turn 1/2.
  • On a Weave, Pass Thru or Step Thru with the first dancer, then the Outsides turn 1/4 toward the shoulder just passed as the Centers start to pass the other shoulder, but when they meet, Arm Turn 1/4.

Scoot Back [Mainstream] (Lee Kopman 1969):

• From a Mini-Wave Box or applicable T-Bone 2 x 2.

  Leaders Box Circulate as Trailers Extend, Arm Turn 1/2, & Extend.
