Once Removed Diamonds is a C3A concept but these calls may occasionally be seen at a C2 dance.

This diagram is drawn wider than normal to show the Once Removed group relationships. Normally, the centers are holding hands.

Notice that each Once Removed element is a complete diamond. These diamonds are interleaved as opposed to normal adjacent or interlocked diamonds. Your movements in this setup are as an individual even though it seems like you are moving with someone, either in tandem or as a couple. See the example for Reverse Flip the Diamonds when the points are as a mini wave.

This offset is important. You must be aware of the offset before you executing a Once Removed call so that when the call is over you will still be Once Removed and still offset in the same direction as when you started

The Diamonds may be facing or funny.

Notice the formation axis.
