From Columns.

The First n dancers do the part of the call that is normally done by the First Two dancers as the Last m dancers do the part of the call that is normally done by the Last Two dancers.

For example,

  • A normal Checkmate The Column is a 2 By 2 Checkmate, since the First Two dancers do one part and the Last Two dancers do the other part.
  • A normal Transfer The Column is a 2 By 2 Transfer The Column.
  • A Box Transfer is a 1 By 1 Transfer The Column.
