Mirror image star thru. I’m a modern western square dancer, and I chafe when contra callers come up with “new” terminology, or say Star Thru, even though the hands are different. Depending on the starting position, I will say which hands (inside, for example), and who goes wide (Gents, for example). then I will say, “Technically this is a Mirror Image Star thru, but I will call it partner twirl.” Why? Because we do have a good mix of cross over dancers, and calling it a Star Thru will confuse the MWSDers. > 2) What is the functional difference between slide left circle left 3/4 and > on the left diagonal circle left 3/4? > As a dancer, I prefer L diagonal circle L. Why? Because it’s easier to finish the swing facing that diagonal than it is to end facing across and then sliding left, which is a separate move added on before the circle. Just my preference.
