1.4: SLITHER

Slither means that, in a line of four, the two center dancers 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.

Slither turns a wave into a two-faced line, and vice versa. Note that the action is the same as the action of Slide, except that it is just the centers who are doing it, with each other.
