Noter:
  • Start with the Right-hand, unless the caller explicitly says the word 'Left'. EN: 50
  • Grand 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru is to 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru as Grand Swing Thru is to Swing Thru. Grand means that dancers can work outside of their 4-dancer sub-formation. EN: 60
  • From R-H Columns, the caller could call either 1/4 Thru or Grand 1/4 Thru. EN: 70
    • On 1/4 Thru, dancers stay in their group of 4 (without crossing the center of the set). EN: 80
    • On Grand 1/4 Thru, the Very Center Two dancers also Left Arm 1/2. EN: 90
  • Those doing each part of the call should be in a Mini-Wave, not facing dancers. Most callers believe it is inappropriate to call Grand 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru from a setup such as a Grand Single Eight Chain Thru. EN: 100
  • From a Thar or Alamo-Ring, the word 'Grand' is not used, even though the formation consists of more than 4 dancers. Historically, callers have called these variations as All Eight 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru, or just plain 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru. EN: 110

Grand Left 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru [A1]:
Those who can Left Arm Turn 1/4 (or 3/4); those who meet and can Right Arm Turn 1/2. EN: 124

Any Hand Grand 1/4 (or 3/4) Thru [A1]:
From applicable formations (e.g., Magic Columns). Those who can Arm Turn 1/4 (by either hand); those who meet Trade. The Trade can be either an Arm Turn 1/2 (from a Mini-Wave) or a Partner Trade (from a Couple). EN: 125

1/4 (or 3/4) Thru [A1] (Dick Bayer og Holman Hudspeth 1969):
From a R-H Mini-Wave Box, a R-H Facing Diamond (Centers with R-H, Ends with L-H), or other applicable formations. Those who can Right Arm Turn 1/4 (or 3/4); those who meet and can Left Arm Turn 1/2. Ends in a Wave. EN: 28
