Definition
Starting formations: Any appropriate formation for the anything call.
The “anything” call must end in a 2×2 formation with two leaders, and two trailers who are facing each other on a diagonal (for example, Box Circulate formation).
Dance action: Do the “Anything” call. Trailers diagonally Pull By with each other, using their outside hands.
Ending formations: If the “Anything” call ends in a Right-Hand or Left-Hand Box, the “and Cross” will end in Back-to-Back Couples.
For example Touch a Quarter and Cross from Facing Couples:
— Those facing Touch 1/4.
— Then the two dancers facing on the diagonal pull by with their left hands.
— The ends in Back-to-Back Couples.
