Styling: From Parallel Waves, Leaders can slowly do their Split Circulate and then clap hands while the Trailers work in the middle.
There are two different starting formations for Scoot Chain Thru. Parallel Waves is the most common starting formation. Therefore, be careful when starting from a 1/4 Tag formation since the call feels different.
From a 1/4 Tag, everyone does the 'Trailers part' as if they started from Parallel Waves. Be sure to end in a 3/4 Tag formation: Centers reform the center Wave, and Outsides slide together to form a Couple.
When the starting formation is Left-handed, be sure to do the Left-hand version of the call, ending in a Left-hand formation.
Scoot Chain Thru is often cued as "Extend, Swing Thru, Turn Thru".
Only the original Leaders from Parallel Waves can Roll.
