Hi Rich and all,
In MWSD both star and slide thru are gender specific.
Dance action
In a single smooth motion, Pass Thru and Men Face Right, Women Face Left.
Ending formation
If two men, Right-Hand Mini-Wave; if two women, Left-Hand Mini-Wave; otherwise,
a Couple.
Cheers, Bill

Seth,
Since a star thru starts with facing dancers, your move could be called as,
Pass by the left and face (Across, Face in/out, face up/down).
A Left Star Thru would take 4 steps and a pass thru and face XXX, would
also take four steps.

In MWSD Star Thru is one of the few gender specific calls. Slide thru is
the same motion as Star Thru, but without hands.
In both Star Thru and Slide Thru, the dancers start face to face and end up
side by side. In both Star Thru and Slide Thru the dancers pass Right
Shoulders and Turn 1/4

Hi Seth,
1) Larry Jennings has a whole section on this in Give-and-Take.

He suggests that you don't need any fancy names. Just use
"Twirl to Swap". As you do the walk-through you tell the dancers:
Initial facing
Final facing
Which hands
Oh, good point. I know Michael Karcher once told me the opposite of a
California Twirl was a Jersey Twirl, but I've heard other names used.
Taminations and ceder.net seem to indicate that the only specific phrasing
used for this is a "mirror star through" (see definitions/demonstrations of

Mirror image star thru. I’m a modern western square dancer, and I chafe when
contra callers come up
Technically, I believe the hands for a CA Twirl and Star Thru are the same -
only difference is which way the dancers are facing.

Isn't #1 just a California Twirl (unless we want to debate whether it can
only be a Cali Twirl if we're using those hands AND they're our outside
hands)?
For #2 I'd say there isn't much of a difference aside from suggesting a
path on the floor to the dancers. LD circle left might feel more
Two questions:
1) We have box the gnat (right hand to right hand), swat the flea (left hand to
left hand), and star thru (Lark/Gent right hand to Lady/Raven left hand). What
is the name of the opposite of a star thru (Lark/Gent left hand to Lady/Raven
right hand)?
2) What is the functional
