 Wheel And Deal

Definition:
 

From a line of four: The right-hand couple wheels around with the left side person as a pivot. The left hand couple wheels behind the other couple with the right side person as a pivot. Finishes with one couple behind the other. BACKGROUND NOTE: In club dancing, Wheel and Deal pretty well replaced Shuffle the Deck as a means of converting lines to double pass thru or completed double pass thru formation. Shuffle the Deck is currently one of Challenge Dancing's Basic Calls.
From a two-faced line: With the inside dancers as pivots, couples wheel around to face one another. BACKGROUND NOTE: When the subject of doing a wheel and deal from a two-faced line first came up, there was a short-lived controversy about whether the couples should finish back to back if they were "right ends" and finish facing each other only if they were "left ends" in the two-faced line. Practical considerations finally dictated that couples ended up facing one another whether they wheeled to the right or left.
