From a Single Eight Chain Thru:   before Pass & Roll         after Pass Thru   after Centers Turn Thru as Ends Right-face U-Turn Back   after Pass Thru   after Centers Pass Thru and all Right Roll To A Wave (done)

Dancing Hint:

• Everyone does a Right-face U-Turn Back exactly once during the call, but only the original dancers coming into the middle do the Turn Thru.

• Pass & Roll is a 4-part call.
• Left Pass & Roll is the mirror image of Pass & Roll.
• From a 1x4, some callers add the word 'Single' before calling Pass & Roll. They think that since the call is normally done from a 2 x 4 (an Eight Chain Thru formation), 'Single' allows the call to be done from a 1 x 4. This is an incorrect usage of the term Single. The word 'Single' is not required.
• Some glossaries define Pass & Roll as a Touch; Scoot Back; and Split Circulate. It is not recommended that you memorize this cheat definition for at least two reasons:
  1. Pass & Roll is a 4-part call, whereas the cheat given above is a 3-part call. If the caller fractionalizes the call (for example, 7/8 Pass & Roll ends in a R-H Diamond), you're in trouble.
  2. Callers sometimes use parts-related concepts such as (from Magic Columns) Those Facing Start Pass & Roll, or (from Trade By or R-H 3/4 Tag) Finish A Pass & Roll. If you use the cheat definition, you may not be able to understand or execute these variations.
• Pass & Roll can also be done from a R-H Mini-Wave Box. In this case, the first Pass Thru is really quick (you may need to "rear-back" to see where you are).
