4.5: COUPLES BACK-TO-BACK

In the case of a box consisting of couples back-to-back, the same basic rules apply.

It can be a little more difficult to think about the center point in this case, because it is behind everybody, but the dancers who are holding with right hands still turn to the right, and the dancers who are holding with left hands still turn to the left.

The result is the same as if they all did a 1/4 In followed by a Pass Thru, except that since they are considered to have been doing the moving and turning at the same time they all can Roll.
