Scoot Back
Last night I called "Scoot Back, once and a half." After the tip was over, two of my dancers came up to me and stated that I had called that particular figure incorrectly. I stated that "Scoot Back, once and a half" called from a standard box formation would leave the dancers in a two-faced line. These particular dancers insisted that the end result would be a diamond. I have always called "Scoot Back, once and a half" with the end result a two-faced line.
From a Mini-Wave Box, Scoot Back 1 & 1/2 ends in a Two-Faced Line.
See our definition of Follow Thru, which is precisely a 1/2 Scoot Back.
If the dancers confront you again, ask them the following question:
"What do the Trailers do on Scoot Back?"
Get them to agree that the Trailers do an Extend, Arm Turn 1/2, and Extend.
So what is half of that? Extend & Arm Turn 1/4.
