Comments
This call is almost always done from a Squared Set, ending in an Eight Chain Thru.
The active couples have an expectation of facing other dancers at the end of the call. Applications of Lead Right that leave the dancers facing no one may be considered unusual.
When done from Facing Couples, the ending formation is Back-to-Back Couples.
