Teaching Suggestions
Cross Over Circulate
A) For an Infacing Couple the Belle crosses in front of the Beau.
B) For an Outfacing Couple it feels like Tag the Line and Face In.
C) From Parallel Waves: the Leaders Trade as the Trailers diagonally Pass Thru.

From Facing Lines or Out-Facing Lines:
Note: Although it is proper to call Cross Over Circulate from Facing Lines or Out-Facing Lines, these applications are rarely used. Other calls achieve the same result and have a better definition of the appropriate body flow.
A) From Facing Lines use “Cross Trail Thru”.
B) From Out-Facing Lines use “Tag the Line and Face In”.
