 Scoot Back 

Definition:
 

From a four-person box with adjacent hands joined: Those facing out of the box do a box circulate.

Finishes in a four person box with hands joined. NOTE: Scoot Back is ordinarily done from parallel waves (which is really two boxes side by side.) Scoot Back is an interesting way of accomplishing a half arm turn with adjacent dancer in a box formation. It has a "Slip the Clutch" feeling about it since the facing in dancers in right hand waves must release hand holds, step ahead, turn thru with the same hand, step ahead and then reestablish hand holds with the same hand once more.

 Triple Cross 

Definition:
 

Version #1

From facing pairs: Turn opposite by the right 3/4 and those facing in give a left and pull by to stand beside the ones who did the arm turn.

Centers do the above move by swinging 3/4 by the right and those who can giving a left and pulling by. (author unknown)

COMMENT: The basic move is the same as Swing And Cross. Two interpretations of the same call depending upon the starting formation is a drawback to acceptance of any movement.

Version #2

From right hand columns: Six dancers on the diagonal will right hand pull by. The other two dancers stand pat. Finishes in columns with one dancer facing in and three facing out in each column. From facing lines: Right Triple Cross means pull by right hands with the dancer on the right diagonally across.
