DIAMOND CIRCULATE

Starting formation - Any Diamond.

Each dancer moves forward to the next position in his diamond, changing his original facing direction one-quarter (90 degrees) toward the center of the diamond. Points become centers, and vice versa. If the call is directed to facing diamonds, all must pass right shoulders.

CUT THE DIAMOND

Starting Formation - Any Diamond.

The centers of the diamond do a Diamond Circulate to the next position in their diamond, while the points slide together and Trade. Ends in a line or wave.

FLIP THE DIAMOND

Starting formation - Any Diamond.

The centers of the diamond do a Diamond Circulate to the next position in their diamond, while the points Run ("Flip" 180 degrees) into the nearest center position and join hands to become the centers of the forming wave or line. When "flipping" a facing diamond, the points always take the inside path, and the centers always take the outside path.
