 Activate
 Jay King  -  page 96
 

Definition:
 

From parallel waves or two-faced lines: Ends circulate once. Centers Circulate once and a half. Those who can will do a "Partner" Tag (6 can), as lonesome dancers move up to the nearest end of a line. Finishes in lines facing out.

 Cast And Lose Your Shadow
 Jay King  -  page 99
 

Definition:
 

Same as Cast a Shadow except the lead persons walk past the trailer to allow the "Shadow" to do the 3/4 arm turn. Lead dancer loops a full 360 degrees and a little more to squeeze in beside the shadow (who has spread apart to the end by coming into the wave from the center). Got that?
