After which step is the maneuver 'Alternate left and right at the rail' performed?

• A. After out
• B. Before out
• C. After crossover lace
• D. At the start

Answer: (A)

The move that alternates left and right at the rail is a side-to-side transition that depends on having just completed the outward step. The out step sets your distance from the rail and establishes the momentum and balance needed to smoothly switch to both sides along the rail. If you try to do the alternating pattern before you’ve performed the out step, you won’t be in the proper position or speed to maintain control. Waiting until after the crossover lace would place the rail work in a later part of the sequence, not as the immediate transition along the rail. Starting at the very beginning skips the essential setup, so you’d lack the necessary stance and alignment to execute the rail alternation safely and effectively.
