4. Very Centers Veer Out as Very Outsides do your part Fan The Top.

Columns end in Parallel Two-Faced Lines.

• Coordinate is a difficult call to do all-position. Hence, at Plus, Coordinate is usually only called from R-H Columns where the Boys are #2 and #4 and the Girls are #1 and #3.
• The final action for the Very Centers is a Veer Out, which means to move forward and outward without changing your facing direction. Hence, if Coordinate is called from a starting formation such as Facing Lines, the ending formation is a T-Bone.
• The final 'move up' action for the Very Centers and the Very Outsides can also be described as a Phantom Hourglass Circulate.

• Teamwork is often required to successfully complete this call.
• From Columns, the #4 dancers (Trailing Ends) are the key to executing the call. Before moving, these dancers should make eye-contact with each other. After the Circulate 1 & 1/2, these two dancers meet in the center of the set. They should then hold their position for a moment to allow the other dancers to get oriented before the Center 6 Trade.
• Circulate 1 & 1/2 means to move forward 1 & 1/2 positions within the original formation. Count spots on the floor. Do not count how many dancers you pass.

From Columns:   before Coordinate         after Circulate   after 1/2 Circulate   after Center 6 Trade   after Very Centers and Very Outsides move up (done)

From Parallel 3 & 1 Lines:   before Coordinate         after Circulate   after 1/2 Circulate   after Center 6 Trade   after Very Centers and Very Outsides move up (done)

From Facing Lines:   before Coordinate         after Circulate   after 1/2 Circulate   after Center 6 Trade   after Very Centers and Very Outsides move up (done) Note on the final part: the Very Centers veer away from each other without turning. This results in the T-Bone ending formation shown above.
