From a Generalized Tandem (i.e., Front-to-Back Dancers, Back-to-Back Dancers, or Facing Dancers). EN: 10

Noter:
  • The Leader's part is danced as one smooth movement. Do not U-Turn Back then Step To A Wave - instead, do the U-Turn Back as you move into your ending position. EN: 40
  • The definition is worded (i.e., 'as one movement') so that the Leaders can Roll. EN: 50
  • A common mistake when dancing Right | Left Roll To A Wave is that everyone tries to do a U-Turn Back. Only the Leaders do the U-Turn Back. Another common mistake is that the Trailers assume that they are not active, and hence they do not move. The Trailer's part is Step To A Wave. EN: 60
  • This call has historically been named Roll Right | Left To A Wave. As such, several ways of calling it have evolved. All of the following are equivalent: EN: 70

    • Right Roll To A Wave
      (the preferred command since the direction is given first). EN: 80
    • Right Roll To An Ocean Wave
    • Right Roll
    • Roll Right To A Wave
    • Roll Right
  • Some callers insert the word 'Leads' (or 'Leaders') before calling Right | Left Roll To A Wave when they actually want everyone to do the call. This terminology is confusing because both the Leaders and the Trailers have an active part in the call. Also, this terminology is ambiguous from formations in which the Leaders are Back-to-Back, and the Trailers are Facing (e.g., Parallel Inverted Lines): Does everyone do the call, or just the Leaders? Our advice to callers is to avoid using the word 'Leads' (or 'Leaders') unless only those dancers are to do the call. EN: 90
