Jaywalk is a 2-dancer call. EN: 30
A Jaywalk can be a Pass Thru, Diagonal Pass Thru, or you can turn up to 90° (as in a Facing Diamond Circulate). EN: 40
Always pass Right shoulders. This is important since the caller could call 1/2 Jaywalk. EN: 50
Take the original opposite facing direction of the dancer who was originally occupying your ending spot. EN: 60
Before moving, point at the dancer with whom you are to Jaywalk. This ensures that the other dancer realizes that they are working with you. EN: 70
If you are diagonally facing more than one dancer, Jaywalk with the closest dancer on your half of the formation. EN: 80
