Using Cross Run
Although "cross run" is part of the Basic Program, it is rarely used except at Mainstream and Plus Clubs. Should you decide to use "cross run", be aware that there are several starting set-ups that it can be called from, each resulting in a different ending set-up. The following explanations may help. The choreo features only the Basic Program.
From Ocean Waves when the centres cross run: centres move forward in a semi-circle to the furthest end position in their ocean wave from their starting point. In effect they cross (trade) in the centre of the wave before "running". A right-hand ocean wave will become a left-hand ocean wave and vice versa.

ladies chain down the line, right & left thru, star thru, zero box
From Ocean Waves when the ends cross run: ends move forward in a semi-circle to the furthest centre position in their ocean wave from their starting point. In effect they are carrying out the "run" action before crossing over (trading) in the centre of the wave. A right hand ocean wave will become a left-hand ocean wave and vice versa.

From Two Face Lines when the centres cross run: centres move forward in a semi-circle to the furthest end position in their line from their starting point. In effect they cross (trade) in the centre of the line before "running".
