Notes:
  • Cross Ramble is a sex-dependent call since it involves a Slide Thru.
  • The Centers do not Trade The Wave. They do a Cross Fold to face. This movement is best danced as a Step Thru and Partner Trade.
  • Those doing the Cross Cast Back [C1] pass Left shoulders.
  • Some glossaries define the Outside's part of Cross Ramble as a Cross Divide (Partner Tag & Ends Bend) instead of a Cross Cast Back (or Trail Off), hence you might encounter a caller calling Cross Ramble from a setup in which some of the Outsides start facing in.

Scoot & Cross Ramble [C2] (Norm Poisson): From a 1/4 Tag. Scoot Back; Cross Ramble. Ends in Generalized Columns. Scoot & Cross Ramble is a 3-part call.

See also Cross Cast Back [C1] and Ramble [C1].
