Notes:
-
Those doing the Cast Off 3/4 determine the handedness of the ending formation.
-
The handedness of the Column at the begininng of the call is the same as
the handedness of the resulting Wave.
-
The Last Two dancers Circulate to form a Box before doing
the Cast Off 3/4. It is important to form the Box first, because
Transfer The Column is often called such that same sex does the Cast Off
3/4. Dancers who are on 'auto-pilot' tend to forget about
the definition and just look for same sex for the Cast Off 3/4.
This causes trouble when mixed sexes are supposed to meet in the Center.
If you always form a Box, you will always Cast Off 3/4 with the correct dancer.
