 Grand Dixie Style 

Definition:
 

From facing couples: Ladies lead Dixie Style to a Wave. Men in the center right arm turn 3/4 as girls move up a quarter (to the end of a wave) and all arm turn half. Girls pull by with a right to lead into another Dixie Style wave where the centers arm turn 3/4 and the girls pull by with a right to lead into another Dixie Style to a Wave where the boys arm turn 3/4 and the girls move up a quarter to the end and all arm swing half. Girls pull by with a right to lead into one more Dixie Style wave where the boys arm turn 3/4 and the girls move up to the end and all arm swing half to take the next call.

 Spin Chain Thru 

Definition:
 

From parallel waves (right- or left-hand) or eight chain thru formation: Ends and adjacent dancer (neighbors) arm turn half, new centers in the wave arm turn 3/4 to form a wave across the center of the set. Centers of this wave now trade (half arm turn) and then arm turn the end of this same wave 3/4. Finishes in parallel waves. If started from eight chain thru formation, the first half arm turn is by the right. If you want dancers to start with a left arm turn from eight chain thru formation then you must give the call as Left Spin Chain Thru. BACKGROUND NOTE: Spin Chain Thru stands at the head of a very large family of movements that somehow involve dancers who move from one wave to the other by going through the middle of the set. Actually the basic idea was originated by Deuce Williams from Dearborn, Michigan who invented a move called Swing Chain Thru in 1967. Swing Chain Thru used one-quarter arm turn (hinges) in the places that Spin Chain Thru uses three-quarter arm turns; and in 1967 the one-quarter turns were deemed not as comfortable as 3/4 turns, so it was Spin Chain Thru that caught on generally while Swing Chain Thru received more limited use.

Finishes as parallel waves, oriented the same as starting waves. Note: Equivalent to all arm turn 3/4 then centers Circulate twice and all arm turn 3/4 again.
