Alter The Wave 之前		Arm Turn 1/2; Centers Cast Off 3/4 同时 Ends U-Turn Back 之后		Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 之后		Flip The Diamond 之后 (完成)

注意:

The Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 is often referred to as Star 1/2. EN: 50

Add Chinese
Dancers who Cast Off 3/4 become the Ends of the resulting Wave no matter how far the Diamond is turned. Dancers who U-Turn Back always become the Centers. EN: 60

Add Chinese
The Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 is danced by turning the whole Diamond 180 degrees around its center of gravity. Centers retain handholds throughout the Diamond Counter Rotate and the Points should NOT place their hands into the 'Star', but instead should point as they would when identifying Diamonds. This is very important, because if there are 3 or more hands are in the Center, dancers tend to forget who is to flip whom for the Flip The Diamond, especially if the caller modifies the amount to 'turn the Star'. EN: 70

Add Chinese
From a Wave, Ends remain Ends as Centers remain Centers. EN: 80
