Cross

Also known as: Change, Pass Through.

Bars: 2.

Two facing dancers change places, usually passing by the right shoulder (except in Scottish, where they usually take right hands briefly). In a cross (or pass through) they usually end facing out in the direction of travel, in a change they usually face back in to the set.
