--8    With next person balance forward and back, then
-            change places by turning single over R-shoulder
-            while moving past each other
-  A2 1-4    Actives (the four now on the sides--original head

 Music: Banjo in a Bear Suit by Dave Bartley, 2009
-Teaching Points:
-Head couples are the actives.
-At end of Al, heads are at the sides, and sides are at the heads; all are proper, next to original opposite and facing partner across the set.
-In B, for the transition between the R-hands across (star) and the rights and lefts, actives are next to partner in the hands across and simply let go to take partners hand to begin rights and lefts.
-**Frank Sullivan** is the recording engineer for our Impropriety CDs. He used to tour for Disney, playing banjo in a bear suit. These days he plays pedal steel. Listen for him on the CD that accompanies this book.
