Dancers ( and ; and ) end on the same spot and therefore take Right-hands. EN: 50

Notes:
  • Everyone starts with a Hinge. EN: 60
  • When the Outsides start in a L-H Mini-Wave, a common mistake is for the Outsides to 1/4 In & Step to R-H! From a Mini-Wave, Hinge & Trade is the same as Arm Turn 3/4, hence a L-H setup remains a L-H setup. EN: 70
  • The final Centers Cast Off 3/4 can be an Arm Turn 3/4, or a 'Push' Cast Off 3/4. EN: 80

From an unusual setup:

Linear Action But anything [C1V]:
Do a Linear Action but replace the Centers Cast Off 3/4 with the Centers doing the anything call. EN: 563

Linear Action But Cross It [C4]:
Do a Linear Action but after the Centers Box Circulate 1 & 1/2, do a Very Centers Slither and then complete the call. EN: 562

Linear Cycle [Plus] (Dave Hodson and Lee Kopman 1979):
From a Wave or applicable Line of 4. Hinge; Leaders Fold behind Trailers (who do not adjust); Any Shoulder Double Pass Thru; Peel Off in direction of Shoulder Pass to end in Facing Couples. This is a 4-part call. From a Wave, Linear Cycle is similar to Recycle And Sweep 1/4. EN: 561
