Facing Couples

Styling
As each End and adjacent Center begin to turn, they release their mini-wave handhold. They smoothly establish a couple handhold once they are approximately facing the same direction.
Comments
The Facing Couples Rule does not apply. From Facing Couples, the call Recycle has a different definition that is not part of the Mainstream program.
When teaching it may be helpful to prompt the action of the Centers as “Fold, follow, face” and to explain that the Centers walk almost a full circle to finish a small step back from where they started and beside the dancer they followed.
