From Parallel Two-Faced Lines, think of Crossover Circulate as a Circulate but exchange places with the dancer next to you as you go. Drop hands with adjacent dancers and move individually (don't move as a Couple). Trailers move forward, crossing from an End to a Center, without changing facing direction. EN: 120

From Parallel Lines, there are two 4-dancer Circulate paths. When teaching Crossover Circulate, we often show these two paths by placing the Boys in one path, and the Girls in the other. Then we say Boys only Crossover Circulate or Girls only Crossover Circulate. EN: 130

The realization that there are two Circulate paths helps some dancers to better visualize the call. Also, activating the dancers in only one of the two Circulate paths reinforces the idea that Ends become Centers and Centers become Ends. EN: 140
