This "quick tutorial" introduces the general idea of a call and explains the most common cases. It does not explain or illustrate all cases. For additional details and/or examples, refer to the links in the "MORE INFO" box.
Tag the Line may be done when dancers are in any kind of line of four. Each dancer turns 1/4 (90 degrees) toward the center of the line. They all then do a Double Pass Thru. At the end, the dancers will all be in a single file of four, with everybody facing away from the center.
The same rules apply to any kind of line, including a wave.
Often, the caller will ask the dancers to turn again at the end, by adding something like "Face Right". This means turn 1/4 (90 degrees) after the Double Pass Thru. Sometimes the word "Face" will be omitted, and the caller will just say "Tag the Line Right".
In this case, the result will be a new line, with the four dancers standing as a group in the same four spots as the original line (but with the individual dancers in different spots and possibly facing different directions).
