There are four different versions of Spread (only the first two are used at Plus):
  1. From Columns: Centers spread apart as ends move in.
  2. From a Line: Ends and adjacent Centers exchange places by sidestepping into each other's position.
    • When adjacent dancers arein a Mini-Wave, they slide nose-to-nose;
    • when adjacent dancers are a Couple, they do a Half Sashay (Belle slides in front of Beau).
  3. Desginated dancers Spread (e.g., from Columns: Ends Spread, check a Butterfly)
  4. The call Wheel & Spread -- Leaders sidestep apart from one another as Trailers move in between.

Although Wheel & Spread was once on the Plus list,
it is no longer considered legal to call at Plus.

Notes:

  • Nobody turns nor changes their facing direction during a Spread.
  • Spread is usually used as a suffix to another call (e.g., Follow Your Neighbor & Spread).
