Trailing dancers should follow footsteps of the lead dancers and not cut the corners. A hinge is half of a trade. Any two adjacent couples or dancers who can trade can also hinge. Working as a unit, each couple does half of a couples trade to end in a two-faced line at right angles to the original. Line or 2-Faced lines.
Couples use couple handhold and styling similar to wheel and deal.
When the active dancers are both facing in the same direction, they move forward in a semicircle, pass each other and fold toward the inactive dancer. Line, two-faced line, or wave. Hands position depends on starting formation, i.e. hands up from a wave, couple handhold from a line or circulate. Using appropriate hand position, the inactive dancer should exert slight pressure to adjacent dancer and assist in initiating folding action. From facing couples, the right hand dancer steps forward and to the left to become the lead dancer in a tandem.
