The idea for the Phantom CONCEPT is to overlap two sets of Parallel Columns | Lines | Waves at 90° to each other, filling in the blank spots with "ghost dancers."

Do the given call working with imaginary dancers (i.e., Phantoms). Assume that the Phantoms are in whatever position, have whatever facing direction, and are of whatever sex is necessary in order to execute the given call. The call is then danced with both the dancers and the Phantoms participating. Keep track of the Phantoms that you are working with and reserve space for them at the completion of the call.

From this formation...

dancers imagine you are here   as     dancers imagine you are here

In the above diagrams, thedancers and their Phantoms work independently of thedancers and their Phantoms.

These are all of the phantom spots.   Sometimes you need to envision this formation...   and other times you need to envision this formation.

Phantoms can also be used from other formations:
