Great explanation, Jim. The one additional detail I would add is that a
square through 3, 4, or 5 hands is choreographically different from a
cross-trail through.
Thanks,

I thought "square through" did not
specifically include the balances.
Ron is correct. A "square through" (also spelled "square thru")
does
*not* implicitly include balancing. Uses of "square through" without
a balance in contemporary contras include the square through three
hands in the "Rocks and Dirt", by Erik Weberg, and the square through
five hands in "The Wizard's Walk" by Ruthie Ungar.
