 Wagon Wheel

Definition:
 

From a Grand Right and Left formation: after an Allemande Left, meet partner with a right forearm turn once around. Men then give the girl's right hand a slight push so she spins once around by herself as the men form a left hand star and start to walk forward. The girl finishes her spin, drifting along slightly in the direction of the turning star and hooks her left arm through the man's right in "escort" position as the star turns. When the call is given ("Hub flies out and the rim flies in, it's a right and left, hook in again"), the men break the star at the center and with the ladies still hooked to their right arms, they back around while the ladies walk forward around to turn about once and a half around until all are facing in Grand Right and Left direction. Pull by with a right, then pull by the next with a left to do another Wagon Wheel Spin as described above with the next girl and end up in an escort type star promenade. Finally do another "Hub Out, Rim In," go forward two with a right and left and then meet partner to promenade home.

Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw 1939
