Diamond Swing Thru
Is it okay to call a diamond swing thru from Twin Facing Diamonds and expect the dancers to do two diamond circulates in each diamond then the very centers trade? Or would the people w/ left hands connected trade?

I.e., Suppose the diamond is such that the wave dancers have a left hand wave and the points have right hands toward the diamond. So the two diamond circulates would leave the very center two dancers holding right hands. Or would you call any hand diamond swing thru or is neither scenario correct??

In my opinion, from Facing Diamonds, "Diamond Swing Thru" is illegal.

On the other hand, you could say one of the following:

Do Your Part Diamond Swing Thru
In this case the points would act independently of the Centers. The Centers would assume L-H Diamonds, and hence would have the Very Centers Trade then do two Diamond Circulates; The Points would assume R-H Diamonds, and hence do two Diamond Circulates.

Diamond Any Hand Swing Thru
In this case, everyone does two Diamond Circulates; then the Very Centers Trade.

In any case, the Diamond concept does not override the right-handedness of Swing Thru.
