Hi Diane,
I don’t believe there is an accepted term for a Reverse Star Through,
especially as that could be ambiguous! Larry Jennings used the term “Twirl to Swap” as a
generic term for any such movement.
For a “Twirl to Swap” the starting position will normally be defined by the
end of the previous move. The caller then needs to specify which hand each person is
using, who goes under the arch, and what the final position should be.
Once I have done that during the walkthrough I normally just call it a
Twirl. Early in the dance it may help to provide a reminder about how it works; sometimes
“inside hand” or “outside hand” works, depending on the dance.
Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] is there an agreed term?
A caller not on this list asked me: Is there an agreed term for a reverse star through?
I don't know of one (other than "reverse star through"), so I'm putting
it out there to everyone.
Thanks.
