ARC Decisions
(October/November 2002)
Q: Is it proper to call “Reverse Star Thru?”
A: No. There already exists, in the Advanced Definitions, the term “Left Star Thru” and there is no need to change. The term “Reverse Star Thru” tends to implicate one of two things; A) The lady should use her right hand and the man his left with the man going under the arch as the lady goes around and behind the man OR B) The action would cause the dancers to “undo” the Star Thru while going backward. The word “Reverse” means to go backward. This usage is NOT in the Mainstream nor Plus programs.
