Aus einer T-Bone 2 x 2:


vor Wheel Thru		nach

From this position, dancers must strictly follow the definition of Wheel Thru (i.e., Belles 1/4 Right). EN: 110

Add German

We don't like this usage because it violates the gestalt that Wheel Thru is a Lead Right. EN: 120

Add German

Aus einer L-H Wave:


vor Wheel Thru		Assume you are here! (take a step backward) EN: 130 Add German		nach

From this position, the caller is attempting to apply the Facing-Couples/Ocean-Wave rule to Wheel Thru. EN: 140

Add German

However, the Facing-Couples/Ocean-Wave rule is not applicable to Wheel Thru because the call does not start with a Pass Thru, Pull By or Arm Turn. In addition, Wheel Thru is defined in terms of Beaus and Belles, and from a L-H Wave all dancers are Belles: therefore, perhaps all dancers should just 1/4 Right! EN: 150
