An Allemande Thar formation is a formation in motion. It is a moving star. Center dancers hold a Pack-saddle Star (fireman chair, each holding the wrist of the person in front) and walk backward, and each center dancer maintains a forearm grip with the adjacent outside dancer, who walks forward.
Shoot the Star. Centers dancers drop the inside handholds forming the star as each center dancer and the adjacent outside dancer Arm Turn 1/2, let go and step forward.
Slip the Clutch. Any backward motion is stopped as outside dancers release armholds with the adjacent centers. All
dancers move forward around the center of the set to the next dancer.
