1.3: SLIDE

Slide means that, in a line of four, the end and the adjacent dancer move sideways into each other's spot. They move in front of each other, "nose to nose", which means they both need to step backward a bit. Nobody turns.

Slide turns a right-handed wave into a left-handed wave, and vice versa. The action is very similar to the action of the Plus calls Spread, when used from a wave.
