Noter:

Coordinate is a difficult call to do all-position. Hence, at Plus, Coordinate is usually only called from R-H Columns where the Boys are #2 and #4 and the Girls are #1 and #3. EN: 40

Add Danish
The final action for the Very Centers is a Veer Out, which means to move forward and outward without changing your facing direction. Hence, if Coordinate is called from a starting formation such as Facing Lines, the ending formation is a T-Bone. EN: 50

Add Danish
The final 'move up' action for the Very Centers and the Very Outsides can also be described as a Phantom Hourglass Circulate. EN: 60

Add Danish

Hints:

Teamwork is often required to successfully complete this call. EN: 70

Add Danish
From Columns, the #4 dancers (Trailing Ends) are the key to executing the call. Before moving, these dancers should make eye-contact with each other. After the Circulate 1 & 1/2, these two dancers meet in the center of the set. They should then hold their position for a moment to allow the other dancers to get oriented before the Center 6 Trade. EN: 80

Add Danish
Circulate 1 & 1/2 means to move forward 1 & 1/2 positions within the original formation. Count spots on the floor. Do not count how many dancers you pass. EN: 90
