Diagonal C/L/W

This applies to a 1x4 that is the "main diagonal" of a block formation, or other similarly oriented 1x4's. They work in that distorted line or column.

The difference between a line and a column is important — it tells the dancers which way the distortion goes. These are among the trickiest distortions to handle. Remember that your facing direction will be the same as though you had done the call in an undistorted setup. Only your position is distorted. If the call would go to a 1x4 oriented the other way (e.g. Lockit), change to the other diagonal.
