| | Cross Circulate | |

- A general term that means dancers who are circulating will change tracks (i.e., from inside to outside and from outside to inside). The traffic pattern is to have those designated do an ordinary Circulate and then half sashay with adjacent dancer to change tracks.
NOTE: See Cross Over Circulate and Trade Circulate on the list of Challenge Dancing's Basic Calls.

| | Daisy's Tea Party | |
-
- A variation of Teacup Chain Like a Daisy Chain. This one follows the ordinary Teacup rule in that girls at the heads always make a star whether moving ahead or backward and girls at the sides move directly to the next head position whether moving forward or backward. The head men receive girls from either the left or right and put them in the middle. The side men receive girls from the center star and send them either right or left. Girls progress forward two and back one.
Head ladies star right 3/4, side ladies go right for a right arm turn. New head ladies star left once and a quarter, side ladies go right for a right arm turn. New head ladies star left 3/4, side ladies go to the left for a left arm turn. New head ladies star right 3/4, new side ladies go right for a left arm turn.

Centers of the wave across the set trade. Form two four-hand stars and turn each star exactly three quarters (those facing out in each star will meet in the center of the set when the 3/4 turn is completed).
