- Right Pull By and 1/4 In;
- Left Swing Thru;
- Left Turn Thru.
Ends in Back-to-Back Couples.
- Alternate definition:
- Square Thru but on the second hand Left Swing Thru 1 & 1/2; Step Thru.
Notes:
-
Don't rush this call. It's a long call, and has many parts.
It requires cooperation and teamwork.
-
Square Chain Thru ends in Back-to-Back Couples. As such, be sure
to end back-to-back with the dancer with whom you do the Left Turn Thru.
-
Upon completion of the call, join hands with the adjacent dancer to form a Couple.
-
When teaching Square Chain Thru, We've found that a hard part is
for the original Beaus to wait while the original Belles Right Arm Turn
1/2. If you're an original Beau, stay
in place and wait for the original Belles to Trade, then do the Left Turn Thru.
-
Square Chain Thru starts like a Square Thru [Basic]. As
such, use alternating hands (Right Pull By and 1/4 In, then get ready
with the Left-Hand for the Left Swing Thru).
-
As with all Turn Thrus, be sure to step Back-to-Back
with the other dancer when you're done. Look behind yourself to
verify that you are lined-up and back-to-back with that dancer. If
not, adjust so that you are!
