43. *Wheel And Deal
Starting formation:
line(s) of four facing in the same direction
or a two-faced line. (a) WHEEL AND DEAL (from a line of four). The left hand
couple only takes a step forward. The couples wheel (180°) toward the center of
the line with the center dancer of each couple acting as the pivot point about
which the couples turn. The couple that started on the right half of the line
wheels in front of the other couple.
Both couples end facing the same direction with the original left hand couple
standing behind the original right hand couple. (b) WHEEL AND DEAL (from a
two-faced line): Each couple steps straight ahead one step. Each couple then
wheels (180°) toward the center of the line with the center dancer of each
couple acting as the pivot point about which the couples turn. Couples end
facing each other.
Styling: Use couple handholds. Inside dancers serve as the pivot point and should exert slight pressure to assist as in any wheel around movement.
Timing: 4 steps.
