1.2: TURNING DIRECTION

The direction that the dancers turn can be either right or left. Each dancer walks forward around the center point of the formation, keeping the same shoulder toward the center point.

If the dancers are holding right hands in their box, they turn to the right and move clockwise around the box.

If the dancers are holding left hands in their box, they turn to the left and move counter-clockwise around the box.

There is no call "Left Box Counter Rotate", because the direction is completely determined by the way the dancers are facing at the start of the call.
