Comments:
The application of the Ocean Wave
Rule to this call is not used at Basic and Mainstream. It may be applied in the
other programs.
Even though the styling encourages a smoothed out dance action, the definition
of Pass The Ocean has three distinct parts and callers may take advantage of
this in their choreography.
This call should not be fractionalized at Basic and Mainstream.
