Teaching Points:
Al bars 1-4: Neighbors turn with L-hand on R-file and R-hand on L-file.
A2 bars 5-8: Neighbors turn with R-hand on R-file and L-hand on L-file.
Al and A2: Each mirror back to back begins with imaginary people because the other couple is crossing down.

This dance had its beginning while we camped at Alder Cove, a beautiful and secluded campground on the northeast side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
