Notes:

Is Mix legal from a Diamond?
No. The Centers can not do a Cross Run because there is no one to run around (Cross Run requires that those doing the Run action end in a spot originally occupied by a real dancer).

At C1, the call Squeeze The Diamond [Centers Trade & Spread; then Original Ends slide together & Trade] could be used instead to obtain the desired result of a Mix from a Diamond.

Swing & Mix [A2] (Lee Kopman 1967): From Facing Couples, a Wave, or an Inverted Line. Arm Turn 1/2; Centers Cross Run; (new) Centers Trade. A Wave or Facing Couples ends in a Wave; an Inverted Line ends in an Inverted Line. This is a 3-part call.
