Notes:

Split Swap should be visualized as a Lead Right while doing a Half Sashay. Think about moving counter-clockwise one position while turning 1/4 to the Right.
The above definition is carefully worded (i.e., as one movement) so that everyone can Roll. Other glossaries may have definitions in which not all dancers can Roll.
Split Swap is also known as Split Swap Around.

Alternative definitions:

Split Swap:: As one movement, Belles Walk as Beaus Dodge; all 1/4 Right.

Reverse Split Swap:: As one movement, Beaus Walk as Belles Dodge; all 1/4 Left.

Shake & Rattle [C3B] (Lee Kopman 1978): From any 2 x 2. Leaders Shakedown as Trailers Reverse Split Swap. Ends in a 2 x 2.
