(first tune)

1s are IMPROPER

A1:1-2: 1s (starting outside foot) lead down through 2s for 4 steps,
   3:   1s balance away from partner
   4:   1s California Twirl to face up
   5-6: 1s lead up for 4 steps
   7-8: 1s cloverleaf turn single to finish in partner's place

A2:1-8: As in A1, but 2s start by leading up through 1s.

[All relatively improper]

B1: 1-4: Mirror back-to-back, 1s split 2s first
    5-8: Double half-figure-eight (start 1s cross, 2s cast, per momentum),
         end facing in. (2s can curve their crossing a bit to make this 
         easier.)

[All home, but not for long]

B2: 1-2: Ladies (first corners) cross
    3-4: Gents (second corners) cross [all relatively improper, progressed]
    5-6: partners balance f&b
    7-8: and twirl-to-swap to face new neighbors

[Note: B2: the balance is gent's right hand to lady's left for both couples;
           twirl leaves the couple facing their next neighbors.]

       and balance toward and away from partner
