Teaching Suggestions:
Split Square Thru
A) Those facing do the first hand of Square Thru
B) All four dancers do the second hand of Square Thru (counting it as “two”).
C) Continue with hands three and four for a full Square Thru.
Quick quote: “Those facing begin Right (one), Face others for Left (two)”
