on the outside of the ring facing  in. 1s and 3s travel; 2s remain at home.


A1: 1-6: All six circle left once round 
    7-8: Changing hands, partners right-hand-balance (according to me)
   9-16: grand chain (grand right and left) around the ring to home.

A2: (2s face diagonally LEFT  and start a series of right and left thru with 
     courtesy turn, some diagonal, some straight.
   1-4: 1s and 2s (diagonal)
   5-8: 2s and 3s (across)
  9-12: 1s and 2s (diagonal, leaves the 2s at home)

          position

   13-16: and promenade halfway round (2s now on the inside of the U)

B2: 1-8: Shetland Reel 
        (hey for 3 with couples acting as a unit, women in front, 1s and 3s pass right shoulder to start)
        To accomplish this, the 2s continue in promenade direction and curve to join the line of the hey with
        a left shoulder pass.

   9-12: Returning to start of hey, all swing partners, finishing with 1s and 2s facing out, 2s
         facing out along their spoke.
         1s and 3s in their original directions (but now with their backs to the other couple)
         1s and 3s pass through with the new coming at them and join a new six some WHILE
         2s promenade to home place and wheel as a couple to face in.
