The Very Ends and Very Centers should wait until the Centers of each side have completed the call before sliding together for the final Cast Off 3/4. EN: 60

The most common dancer mistake we see is that the dancers who become the Very Ends after the initial Arm Turn 1/2 start wandering. If you become one of the Very Ends, stay in place and wait for a few beats until you are met by one of the Very Centers for the final Cast Off 3/4. Sometimes the hardest part of a call is waiting for something to happen. EN: 70
