The ending formation remains Facing Dancers.<\/p>\n<p>From a Squared Set, Head Men Dosado is acceptable. They approach each other, Dosado, and return to their original position.<\/p>\n<p>A Dosado which starts by passing left shoulders is called Left Dosado.<\/p>\n<p>Formerly the phrase See Saw was occasionally used to accomplish a Left Dosado. In 2003 the Mainstream Committee voted to drop that application of See Saw and requests that callers use Left Dosado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;\">3b.
