From a Generalized 1/4 Tag or other applicable formations. EN: 10

Work in a Distorted Box with the dancers with whom you would normally Jay Walk. At the end of the call re-establish the footprints of those four positions. EN: 20

A Jay can be denoted by a given direction, that direction being relative to the dancers in the Center Line. In identifying the Jay, the facing direction of the Outside dancers doesn't matter. EN: 70

Note: Jays can pop up in other formations (such as an "H"). Also, two dancers who are offset can do 2-dancer Jay calls (such as Jay Touch 1/4). EN: 110

Historically, Jays were denoted as follows: EN: 30

Hint: for complicated calls, check the orientation of your Jay with respect to the room before you start moving. For example, you could remember the wall toward which your Jay is offset. We usually memorize our Jay by remembering (1) whether the Centers are in a Two-Faced Line or a Wave and (2) which End position (of the Center Line) is a part of our Jay. EN: 120

Occasionally, a caller may call a Shape-changing call from a Jay. EN: 130

On a shape-changing call (usually from a Box to a Line or Wave), the idea is to maintain the center point between the pairs of dancers. In the above example, dancers and finish such that their center point is the original center point between dancers and . Similarly, dancers and finish such that their center point is the original center point between dancers and (which just happens to be the original starting position of dancer ). EN: 135

After doing a Jay call, work with the other Jay positions (Outsides work with the other Center positions, and Centers work with the other Outside positions). EN: 333
