Well Sylvia...

Here's a dance I just composed in the past week...  although it IS
improper, it's certainly not equal!

Duple, Improper
A1 1s in the middle, down the hall, 4-in-line
       turn alone, come back up, bend the line

A2  Pass through across the set and swing your neighbor

B1  Long lines forward and back
       2s 1/2 figure eight above; as the 2s pass, 1s meet in the center,
then peel (cast) out to the outside, passing the 2s, as the 2s move up
into the ones place.

B2 1s swing in the center of the set - end the swing facing down

Note: The 1s move in the B1 does cross the phrase, ending in a 12 count
swing in B2.
