Recycle [Mainstream]
   (Lee Kopman 1974)
MAINSTREAM:     

Language:
   edit def

From a Wave. EN: 10

Ends Cross Fold (to face furthest centers) as Centers Fold behind Ends, follow them partway, then adjust to form a Couple. EN: 20

Ends in Facing Couples. EN: 30

 part-way
(after Centers Fold)
 
part-way
(after sliding together
& turning 1/4)
 EN: 4
 after
forming Facing Couples
(done)

Notes:
  • The end result of Recycle is as if the Ends did a Cross Fold as the Centers took a small step backward to form a Couple. EN: 50
  • Original centers make a 360 degree turn. EN: 60
  • Dancewise, Recycle is similar to having the Centers U-Turn Back (turning toward the adjacent End), then all Wheel & Deal. EN: 70
  • Technically Recycle is a no-hands movement, but in practice, dancers join hands partway through the call. In our opinion, the sooner the hands are joined, the better the success rate. EN: 80
  • In challenge dancing, Recycle (from a Wave) [C1] has a more precise definition: EN: 90

    1. Centers Fold behind Ends and all adjust to a Mini-Wave Box; EN: 100
    2. Box Counter Rotate 1/4;
    3. Roll.
