• Pass In | Out can be done by any two Facing Dancers (or dancers in a R-H Mini-Wave) with the restriction that after the Pass Thru, neither dancer is directly facing toward or away from the flagpole center of the set.
• Each dancer individually evaluates the direction (In or Out).
• After the Pass Thru, even if you are already facing In | Out, you must still turn 1/4.
• After Pass In, everyone is facing toward the center of the set. If you end facing out, then you did the call incorrectly.
• After Pass Out, everyone is facing away from the center of the set.
• From an Eight Chain Thru, a caller may call "Pass In Twice". Be careful if you start as an Outside: the second Pass In causes you to turn the opposite direction from the first Pass In. Re-evaluate your position before the second Pass In.
