Cross Fold

Cross Fold
DEFINITION: The directed (active) dancers who must either both be centers or both ends, fold toward the farthest inactive dancer by walking in a semicircle to end facing toward that same dancer. 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. STARTING FORMATION: Line, two-faced line, or wave. TIMING: 4 steps. STYLE: 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.
