In a figure like circle right or left hand wrist grip star, if one dancer
realizes it's moving too slowly, they can walk faster and cause the entire
foursome to move faster, because everyone is connected. In a hands-across
star, that dancer is stuck behind someone whom they're not connected to and
who also can't really see them, and speeding up just makes them step on
that person's feet.
