Aus einer T-Bone 2 x 2:     vor Follow Your Neighbor   nach It is generally not appropriate to call Follow Your Neighbor from a T-Bone setup below the C1-level.

• Do not add a Spread unless the caller explicitly says so.
• The Leaders' part is sometimes also described as a Fold & Roll.
• Follow Your Neighbor is similar to a Scoot Back except that
  1. Everyone does a 3/4 turn instead of a 1/2 turn
  2. Those doing the Arm Turn hold on to each other
• Those doing the Arm Turn 3/4 usually start with a forearm grip and blend into a normal handhold upon completion of the call.

Questionable usage of Follow Your Neighbor:

This example is illustrated here so that callers can hopefully avoid calling it.

Aus einer Single 1/4 Tag:     vor Follow Your Neighbor   nach From this position, all dancers do the Trailers' part of Follow Your Neighbor (i.e., Extend & Arm Turn 3/4). I believe this to be a reasonable extension of Follow Your Neighbor, since we regularly do Scoot Back from both a Mini-Wave Box and a Single 1/4 Tag.
