Figure 17.
Transformation from Dr. Schön's row to Alwa's row.
The succession of moves in this figure has been unrealistically simplified for the purposes of illustration; a caller would never simply direct dancers to slide from one configuration to another. However, "swing through"--the critical move in this transformation--will have precisely the same effect no matter how elaborate the caller makes the entrance and exit. |
The West couple joins the South couple and forms an ocean wave. Meanwhile, the East couple joins the North couple and forms an ocean wave. |
