Comments:

From Facing Dancers, the call Step To A Wave (#36a) gives a Right-Hand Mini-Wave.

The Ocean Wave Rule does not apply to this call. Therefore, a combination like “Swing Thru, All 8 Circulate, Touch 1/4” is improper.

The left-handed version of this call is Left Touch 1/4. See “Additional Detail: Commands: Extensions like Reverse Wheel Around”.
