(from waves only for the Plus Program)
Starting formation – Parallel Ocean Waves or Four (4) Dancer Waves to be either right or left-handed.
(For programs other than Plus, allowable formations include any formation in which the end and adjacent center can single or partner hinge. This is a three part call.)
- The ends and adjacent centers hinge.
- Those facing out fold behind those facing in and all dancers will then move forward in a Double Pass Thru action.
- If the hinge is right-handed, peel right; if the hinge is left-handed, peel left to end as facing couples.
From a right-hand hinge, all will pass right shoulders. From a left-hand hinge, all will pass left shoulders.
An added note just for information from beyond the Plus Program — From any inverted lines or some three in one lines, the passing rule shall prevail. (Not applicable in the Plus Program.)
STYLING: Arms in natural dance position. Similar to styling for individual components. Rejoin hands upon completion of move.
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.
