Motivate from an Eight Chain Thru formation
Is it legal to start from Eight Chain Thru formation, requiring the implicit step to a wave before the first Circulate? (As a dancer, I want to circulate first, then do the rest of the call, and don't think of stepping to a wave as part of "circulate": however our caller thinks that since Motivate "normally" starts from a wave, then the extend is automatic) -- thoughts?
No, it is not legal.
The first part of Motivate is a Circulate, which from an Eight Chain Thru formation amounts to a Pass Thru.
"Step to a Wave" and do the call generally only apply to calls that start with arm turns (e.g., Spin The Top).
