David Smukler writes (July 10, 2025): The B-part begins with the circle.
During the walk through I pause (at top of B) here and before circling ask
the middle four people to back away from their partner and note that they
have formed a square. The head people in the square are with their partner;
the sides are not (their partner is across from them). I teach that whoever
they are with is a bprogression person.b We practice the progression before
circling. The LH person goes f&b to change, while the RH person goes b&f. I
might mention that each time through the dance it is the same dancers going
forward first or backward first.

Now they know how to progress I ask them to change back, and then
un-pause the walk-through: Circle left, don't, stop halfway, just use up
the music.  Now progresss (changing places with your progression person).
And circicle reight, etc.
