Noter:
  • The Center who Stepped Ahead should raise their Left hand to indicate that they are leading the Unwrap The Star;
  • The leader of the Unwrap is the End of the Center Wave after th star has turned 1/4.
  • Dancing hint: The very ends of the Unwrap (dancersandin the above diagrams) can alternatively dance the Unwrap & 1/4 In as a Star 1/2, walk forward & 1/4 Left moving under the raised arm of the adjacent dancer (like the original outside Belle does on Circle To A Line [B]).

Variation: Explode The Top turn the Star n less (or more) position(s). The leader of the Unwrap is always the dancer who becomes the End of the Center Wave after the Star has turned.
