From Facing Couples. EN: 10

This call must be preceded by a call in which the dancers have some sort of turning flow (i.e., all dancers are moving in a Clockwise or Counter Clockwise direction). Any call that can be followed by Sweep 1/4 can also be followed by With The Flow. EN: 20

The dancers closest to the flow direction Walk (Circulate) as the others Dodge. EN: 30

Ends in a Mini-Wave Box. EN: 40

Alternative definition: From Facing Couples & preceded by a call in which everyone's Rolling direction is the same. If the Rolling direction is Clockwise (to the Right), then the Walk & Dodge is Clockwise (Beau Walk, Belle Dodge). Similarly, if the Rolling direction is Counter-Clockwise (to the Left), then Belle Walk, Beau Dodge. EN: 50
