17: PARALLEL LINES

Because an ordinary line consists of four dancers, and there are a total of eight dancers in a square, it is common for the eight dancers to be arranged as two parallel lines. For example, there may be two one-faced lines, with all of the dancers facing in. This formation is called Facing Lines.

Or there may be two one-faced lines with all of the dancers facing out. This formation is called Back-to-Back Lines.

Or there may be two two-faced lines.

Note that each two-faced line consists of two couples, for a total of four couples in the case of two parallel two-faced lines.
