The Initially concept is used often in conjunction with the Once Removed concept. The problem with this usage is the almost overwhelming desire of many dancers to take out Once Removed calls before thinking about what's going on.

Examples of this call include but are not limited to the following:

• Initially Once removed Rims Trade and centers do a call from a tidal wave
• Initially Once Removed Relay the Shadow from an as-couples tidal wave

In the example below, you can see that there are two additional steps required to take out and put back portions of this call. Not only does this take more time but it is confusing to do the put back in the middle of the call. Put backs are normally done at the end of the call.

Initially Once removed Circle to a Wave with a take out

Initially Once Removed Circle to a Wave without a take out

As a general rule, don't take out Initially Once removed calls. Do the call in the Once Removed formation.
