Al 1-4 1st corners turn by the left hand once and a half to change places; 
   5-8 1st corners turn their partners by the right hand once and a half 
       to change places along the line. End with the men above the women, thus:

A2 1-4 2nd corners (from 1st corner position) turn by the right
       hand once and a half to change places;
   5-8 2nd corners turn their partners by the left hand once and a half
       to change places across the set. (All are now in original positions.)
B1 1-4 All set, moving forward, and turn single to the right back out to place;
   5-12 Right hand star; left hand star.

B2 1-4 1s gather up the 2s and lead down in a line of four (Is
       proper in the middle), then the 1s turn as a couple (man
       backing) while the 2s turn out to face up and reform the line;

   5-8 Lead up in a line of 4 and 2s gate the 1s around;
   9-12 1s half figure eight up through these 2s to end proper, progressed.</code>

Teaching Tips: The corner turns in Al and A2 must be quick and tight to get once and a half
around in four bars.
