From a Diamond or Generalized Single 1/4 Tag with the Centers in a Mini-Wave.
Centers do your part of Extend the Tag as the Others 1/4 toward the given
direction (relative to the 4-dancer formation).
Adjust to end in a 2 x 2.

Note: Drop Back means Drop U-Turn Back (unless, of course, you are
attempting to dance at a level way over your head!).
There is a potential ambiguity dependent upon whether
the outsides turn 1/4 before or after the
Centers Extend (pay special attention to dancers
and
below):
| This is the starting formation for each of the following: | |
| |
| after Case 1(Ends 1/4 In then Centers Extend & adjust) | | after Case 2(Centers Extend & adjust then original Ends 1/4 In) |
|
We prefer Case 2 for the following reasons:
- It makes Drop a 4-dancer call instead of an 8-dancer call.
- It allows Drop direction to be called from any Single 1/4 Tag.
- It is consistent with the wording of the CALLERLAB definitions.
Interlocked Drop direction [C2V]:
From Interlocked Diamonds.
Everyone except the Very Centers do a normal Drop direction
as the Very Centers Interlocked Extend (as one movement back-to-back Slither and Extend).
Cross Drop direction [C4]:
Centers
Cross Extend
instead of Extend.
Variations:
- Center Six Drop direction;
- Grand Drop direction.
