Teaching Tips:

Trade Family
A.) Designated dancers move forward to take the other dancers position ending in reverse facing direction.
B.) Two types of trades, with or without hands held.
C.) If facing the same direction, pass right shoulders as you go around each other.

More teaching suggestions:

— Slow motion action for a couple: Identify the wall behind you, turn to face your current partner, pass right shoulders, turn another quarter, end facing the wall that was behind you and with the same partner beside you.
