If the Centers start in a Wave, their part is danced as the Very Centers slide Back-to-Back to exchange places, 'Push' Cast Off 3/4 and Pass In (Counter Rotate 1/4). EN: 50

Variation: EN: 60

Interlocked Counter But Centers Cast Off 1/2

(instead of 3/4). This variation is not well defined. There are two different ways (resulting in different ending formations) that the Centers could do the Cast Off 1/2: EN: 70

Once Removed Cast Off 1/2; or EN: 80
Very Centers 'Back-to-Back Slither' then Cast Off 1/2. EN: 85

We disapprove of the above variation since it is ambiguous, but would opt for the first case if it was encountered while dancing. EN: 90
