Cycle & Wheel #1

What happens on Cycle & Wheel from parallel 3 and 1 line with both Ends facing in, with a left-hand Couple and the others in a left-hand mini-wave?

It looks to me like after the call they are all standing on the same spot??? Am I loosing it, cause your book says that the right most couple goes first even from in-facing ends lines. Aggghhh.

If both ends are facing the same direction, the Right-End and adjacent dancer end in front of the Left-End and adjacent dancer. This is because the each group of two dancers needs to pass right-shoulders with the other group of two dancers.

The square-breathing of the above example is tight, which makes it difficult to envision the actual traffic pattern. The key is to concentrate only on one line of 4, since Cycle & Wheel is a 4-dancer call.

The Right-End and adjacent dancer do their movement & step forward a bit to become Leaders as the Left-End and adjacent dancer to their normal movement.
