SQUARE THRU

Chose a number to follow. Then chose another number to follow.
This is a FOUR dancer movement
From facing dancers. Dancers that are facing will pull by using the Right hand. Turn 1/4 to face the person beside them in their foursome, give Left hands and pull by. Each dancer will then turn 1/4 to face the person beside them. Then they will give Right hands to pull by and turn 1/4 to face the person beside them. Again giving the Left hand to pull by. Dancers will not turn after the fourth pull by.
Half Square Thru will be two hands pull by (Right and Left) and not turn after the second pull by.
Square Thru 3/4 will be three hands pull by (Right, Left, Right) and not turn on the third pull by.
All pull by and turning should be done in a continuos motion with stopping and turning and starting. Dancers should use a firm but not tight hand hold. And they should release hand holds about the time they come side by side.
