Notes:
-
The given direction is usually Right or Left, but
could also be In or Out (in reference to the Center of the Set).
-
Anchor is a positional call (like
Cast Back, Cross Cast Back,
Loop,
Press direction,
Shove Off,
Tow Truck,
and

Inactive dancers do not move or otherwise adjust as they
would during normal 'square breathing.'
-
Do not confuse Anchor with Cast Off. On the call Anchor, the pivot
dancer remains on the same spot throughout the call. On the call Cast
Off, the pivot point is half-way between the two dancers.
