Keep track of the phantoms and allow spaces for them upon completion of the call. When formation is a 4-dancer formation, there should be a total of 16 dancer | phantom positions before and after each call.

In the former case, dancers work within their Wave of 4, and the Counter Rotate 1/4 is a Lockit;
whereas in the latter case, the Counter Rotate 1/4 is an 8-dancer (Parallel Lines) movement.

Sometimes, the outside formations can be at a 90° angle to the inside formations. For example,

Quadruple Wave

The formation may occasionally be a non-4-dancer formation. For example,
