Starting formation – General Line (At Plus, this call is restricted to starting from a Wave only.)

This is a three-part call:
1. The end and adjacent center dancers Hinge.
2. In one blended action, the Leaders Fold (behind the Trailers) as the Trailers begin a Double Pass Thru (or a Left Double Pass Thru if both mini-waves were left-handed before the Fold).
3. As the dancers complete the Double Pass Thru, each pair of Tandem dancers Peel to their right or left depending on the handedness of their mini-wave before the Fold. The ending formation is Facing Couples.

STYLING: The first part is performed using the standard styling for the Hinge. Then dancers drop hands and dance with arms in natural dance position until reconnecting in a couple handhold as the call is being completed.

Timing: 8-10

ARC Decisions

(July 2006)

Q: Is it proper to call Linear Cycle from a Tidal Wave?

A: Yes. This was voted to be a proper use of the call as there are two ocean waves end to end in this formation and it fits within the definition.
