Starting formation - facing couples. For a Square Thru, facing dancers join right hands and pull by. Variations may be specified by fractions or by the number of hands, e.g., half square thru is the same as square thru two hands. In all cases, do not turn after the last pull by. Left Square Thru is similar to square thru except that it is started with the left hand and hands are alternated accordingly.
Dancers step forward offset to the left.
Men - left arm bent at the elbow, palm slightly up, right hand on lady's back near the shoulder blade. Posture should be erect. Ladies - right hand palm down on man's left hand, left hand on man's right shoulder, arm resting on man's right arm. Right foot moves in small steps around the pivot point between the two dancers while the left foot pushes, as in a scooter motion. Dancers move around each other clockwise once around.
