A1       1st woman cast, followed by partner to progressed improper places.
         while 2nd couple half-poussette CW.  (In both A1 and A2,
         2nd woman moves forward, 2nd man backs up.)
         All circle L halfway. (1st couple is home, 2nd couple is improper.)

A2       All reverse direction:  1st man cast, followed by partner to
         progressed improper places.
         while 2nd couple half-poussette CCW.  (2nd woman again
         moves forward, 2nd man backs up.)
         All circle R halfway.  Everyone is home.

B1       1st corners R shoulder siding, turn R hands.

B2       2nd corners L shoulder siding, turn L hands.

C1       3 changes of Rights and Lefts., starting with partner.

         All turn single R, end facing out.

C2       Neighbors lead out, turn around lead back (3 steps each).
         Partners back to back.

Teaching notes: 2nd woman think "forward" -- she dances forward to
start each figure.  C1 turn single works either direction. For
performance purposes, all turning single R looks cool.
