1. It really has to be called mirror star thru (left star thru was the
older term). “Twirl to swap” is worse than wrong in this case because you
are neither twirling nor swapping. Slide thru is generally the same move,
but differs first because it can be done by two people dancing the same
role,

Ooops. Of course, I meant to say "... a variant of Star Thru using the gent's

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

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
