 Activate 

Definition:
 

From parallel waves or two-faced lines: Ends circulate once. Centers Circulate once and a half. Those who can will do a "Partner" Tag (6 can), as lonesome dancers move up to the nearest end of a line. Finishes in lines facing out.

 Cast And Lose Your Shadow 

Definition:
 

Same as Cast a Shadow except the lead persons walk past the trailer to allow the "Shadow" to do the 3/4 arm turn. Lead dancer loops a full 360 degrees and a little more to squeeze in beside the shadow (who has spread apart to the end by coming into the wave from the center). Got that?

All now Slide Thru. Finishes in lines facing, back to back or with other facings depending on the distribution of sexes for the Slide Thru.
