Notes:
-
As with all Star movements, wait until all four
dancers are in the Star before you turning it.
-
Those who become a Lead End after the first Arm Turn 1/4 (or 3/4),
must do a full Circulate and resist the temptation to Trade with
the End of the Center Wave.
Variations:
- Star 1/4, Star 1/2, Star 3/4
- Don't Turn The Star
