(author unknown)

C4:

Language:

Replace the first Arm Turn 1/2 of the given call with an Arm Turn 3/4. EN: 10


before Yo-Yo Spin The Top		after Right Arm Turn 3/4		after Fan The Top (done)


before Yo-Yo Cross fire		after Centers Arm Turn 3/4 & Extend as Ends Cross Fold (done)


before Yo-Yo Remake		after Right Arm Turn 1/4		after Left Arm Turn 3/4		after Right Arm Turn 3/4 (done)

Notes:

The Arm Turn 1/2 that is being replaced does not have to be the first part of the call: it just has to be the first Arm Turn 1/2 within the given call. For example (from Facing Lines), a Yo-Yo Square Chain Thru is a Right Pull By, 1/4 In & Left Touch; Left Arm Turn 3/4; Centers Trade; Left Turn Thru. EN: 20
Historically, Yo-Yo was not a CONCEPT, but several different calls which used the words Yo-Yo and the Arm Turn 3/4 idea. This was not only messy, but confusing to the dancers, since calls were named Relay The Yo-Yo (Yo-Yo Relay The Top); Alter The Yo-Yo (Yo-Yo Alter The Wave); Change The Yo-Yo (Yo-Yo Change The Wave); Reverse The Yo-Yo (Yo-Yo Reverse The Top); etc. Each call had to be separately memorized.
