Brace Thru is a 2-part call.

From Facing Couples:

Notes:
  • Brace Thru is a sex-dependent call. After the Right Pull By, each couple must consist of one Boy and one Girl. Brace Thru can not be done if any Couple consists of same-sex dancers.
  • The U-Turn Back is done by turning toward each other. This is important in case the caller adds a Roll.
  • Brace Thru is a variation of Right & Left Thru. The Courtesy Turn action is either done normally (as a Couple), or individually (i.e., U-Turn Back). Whether you do a Courtesy Turn or U-Turn Back depends respectively on whether you are a Normal or a Half-Sashayed Couple.
  • Brace Thru is useful for callers since it resolves sex-problems within the square. After a Brace Thru, everyone ends in normal Facing Couples (Boy on Left, Girl on Right).
  • In 2012, Callerlab renamed Half Breed Thru to Brace Thru.
  • Historical note: The original definition of Half Breed Thru had a Pass Thru instead of a Right Pull By.

Brace Yourself [C4]: From a Couple consisting of one Boy and one Girl. Normal Couples Courtesy Turn as Half-Sashayed Couples U-Turn Back. Ends in a Normal Couple. This is the last half of Brace Thru.

Cross Breed Thru [C4]: From applicable Facing Couples (or an applicable R-H Wave). Pass Thru; Normal Couples Left-Shoulder Partner Tag as Half-Sashayed Couples 1/4 Out. Ends in Back-to-Back Couples.
