previously occupied by the right-hand dancer behind him, to finish
facing in the same direction as when he started the Zoom action. (The
net result is the same as if the right-hand dancer had done a right face
U Turn Back & Box Circulate twice). The left-hand dancer follows
("Chases") the right-hand dancer by doing a Box Circulate two positions.
The call finishes in a Box Circulate formation. |

parallel waves |
Movement |
Start as in a
normal Spin Chain the Gears -- Ends and adjacent centers turn 1レ2, new
centers turn 3/4, while the ends U-Turn Back, and the very two centers
of the wave Trade. All form two left-hand stars (but before turning
them, the out-facing point should raise a hand, indicating "follow me"
-- they will be the "leaders of the exchange") and turn the stars 3/4.
The "leaders of the exchange" will now lead the star out to the right,
around the outside of the other star, like an S pattern, then into a
momentary column of four, single file through the sides position. The
first three dancers in the momentary column Quarter right-face, as the
fourth dancer does a Quarter left-face, and the original "leader of the
exchange" runs right, forming two parallel right-hand ocean waves (at
the sides of the square, if started from a Box 1-4). |
