Tune: Westering Home
https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/~winston/mydances/apw/westering_home.pdf
Key D, meter: 3/4 cheerful but not saccharine


Tempo - between 120 and 144bpm depending on floor, etc.


A1 1-4: 1s with crossed hands turn down the middle (once or twice round) and fall back to sidelines
          WHILE
        2s turn down in to a big cast up the outside to 1st place.
   5-8  2s face down, 1s cast up into a mirror back-to-back, tops split bottoms.


A2: 1-8: As above with roles reversed, all home.

B1: Double figure 8: 2s turn down to cast up to start, 1s cross down to start 

B2: 1-4: left hand star once round (make sure it gets you there)
    5-6: right hand star halfway (progressed improper)
    7-8: partners turn right hand to own side.

(Ones can keep that right hand and join left to start the crossed-hand turn.)

Teaching tip:
It may be worthwhile to walk the mirror back to back (so they get the geography)
before telling them to cast up into it.
