- Stretched Box | Column | Line | Wave identifies a formation (i.e., a Box, a Column, a Line, a Wave) of 4 dancers that has been 'pulled' or 'stretched' apart; dancers do the given call while simultaneously pulling the 2 portions of the formation together. EN: 70

  Add Japanese
If the given call can be done by either 4 or 8 dancers, do the 4-dancer version of the call. For example, on a Stretched Box Counter Rotate 1/4, the Counter Rotate would be a Split Counter Rotate. A Stretched Box Circulate would be a Split Circulate. EN: 90

Add Japanese
The Outside pairs of dancers do the call 'normally' (i.e., as if they were working on their own side). EN: 100

Traffic patterns:

Some dancers immediately do a Centers 'Substitute' (or Centers Half Sashay into the other Center position) and then do the call on each side. Although this may help dancers to visualize and execute the call, it is almost always awkward to dance. Please try to avoid doing this! Instead, think about starting the call Disconnected and gradually blending such that the 4 dancers end together on the same side. EN: 120

Add Japanese
From Columns consider a Stretched Box Peel & Trail: the awkward way to dance this would be Centers Substitute (Stable Zoom) and all Peel & Trail; the smooth way would be Lead two dancers Phantom Run and Press Ahead as Trailing two dancers Press Ahead and Trade. EN: 130

Add Japanese
From a Tidal Wave consider a Stretched Wave Explode The Wave: the awkward way to dance this would be Center 4 Once Removed Half Sashay (yecch!) and all Explode The Wave; the smooth way would be Step Thru; Face In; Centers Pass Thru; all Right Pull By. EN: 140
