On Left Wheel Thru, everyone moves to the left.
Wheel Thru is the same as Lead Right [Basic] except that the Beaus pass right-shoulders with each other instead of left-shoulders.
Dancers often clap hands once while executing the call.

Questionable usages of Wheel Thru:

We've seen Wheel Thru used by callers in the following questionable situations:

In our opinion, neither of these situations should be called. They are illustrated here so that callers can be aware of them and avoid them.

T-Bone 2 x 2 から:


Wheel Thru の前		後

From this position, dancers must strictly follow the definition of Wheel Thru (i.e., Belles 1/4 Right).

We don't like this usage because it violates the gestalt that Wheel Thru is a Lead Right.

L-H Wave から:


Wheel Thru の前		Assume you are here! (take a step backward)		後

From this position, the caller is attempting to apply the Facing-Couples/Ocean-Wave rule to Wheel Thru.

However, the Facing-Couples/Ocean-Wave rule is not applicable to Wheel Thru because the call does not start with a Pass Thru, Pull By or Arm Turn. In addition, Wheel Thru is defined in terms of Beaus and Belles, and from a L-H Wave all dancers are Belles: therefore, perhaps all dancers should just 1/4 Right!

Wheel Fan Thru [C1]: From Facing Couples. Beaus Extend (to join R-H with each other), Arm Turn 3/4 and Extend as Belles 1/4 Right. Ends in Back-to-Back Couples.

Wheel Fan & Cross Thru [C4]: From Facing Couples. Wheel Fan Thru; Half Sashay (with the dancer who does the 1/4 Out sidestepping in front of the dancer who does the Arm Turn 3/4). Ends in Back-to-Back Couples.
