• In the second example shown above (i.e., The starting formation has Centers in a L-H Wave, Outsides in a R-H Mini-Wave or Couple), the original Centers must make a wide loop so as not to collide with the original Outsides.
• If the Outsides start in L-H Mini-Waves, then the resulting Center Wave is a L-H Wave.
• From a Thar: everyone does the 'Centers' part. Ends in a squared set.
• From a squared set: everyone does the 'Outsides' part. Ends in a Thar.

Variations: Centers go 2/3: All 8 Recycle.
