How to do the Dixie Style to Ocean Wave square dance step:
Starting Square Dance Formation: facing couples or facing tandems.
TIMING: heads or sides to the wave, 6; all 4 couples to the wave, 8.
From facing couples,the right hand dancer steps forward and to the left to become the lead dancer in a tandem. Lead dancers join right hands and pull by. Moving to the other trailing dancer, each extends a left hand and touches to a left hand mini wave and turns one quarter (90). New center dancers join right hands and form a left hand ocean wave.
STYLING: Lead dancers initially pulling by in the center should use handshake hold as in right and left grand. When forming mini waves with trailing dancers, dancers must adjust to the right, using hands-up position and same styling as in swing thru.
