Während der vorige Call endet, rutschen die Centers auseinander und jedes End geht vorwärts oder seitlich in die nächste freigewordene Center-Position.
Tauschen Centers und Ends dabei die Plätze, gehen die Centers vor den Ends vorbei – außer der Schwung (Body Flow) ergibt etwas anderes. Aus einer Line ergibt ein halber Spread eine Box.
Starting formations for the Spread action (that is, where the (anything) call would end if completed): Double Pass Thru, Eight Chain Thru, Right-Hand or Left-Hand Quarter Box, General Line of Four, General Parallel Lines, General Crossed Lines, and General Tidal Line. (See Formation Note below.)
Dance action: As the dancers complete the (anything) call, the Centers slide apart while each End moves forward or sideways into the nearest vacated center position. Centers exchanging places with Ends pass in front of those Ends unless the body flow dictates otherwise.
When the starting formation is one or two General Lines, the Spread action is performed within each Line.
Dancers should adjust their motion to blend smoothly into the Spread action as the preceding (anything) call finishes.
From a General Line, doing just 1/2 of the Spread action produces a Box.
