ELEGANCE & SIMPLICITY 
variation
via Lise Dyckman - got it in Philadelphia in late '80s
improper contra

A1: 1-4: with neighbors RH star *halfway* 
    5-8: with the next neighbors star L *halfway* [and fall back into line]

A2: 1-4: with the ones you starred L with, 
         R & L over and courtesy turn plus a little to face original neighbors
         on the Left diagonal.
    5-8: R & L over with original neighbor cu, courtesy turn to face in.

B1: 1-4:  women chain to neighbors
    5-8:  and neighbors swing briefly; open facing down.

B2: 1-4: down center 4 in line and turn alone [1s still in center]
    5-8: return up the center; assisted cast with this neighbor to progress

* it's important to wheel around (arm around neighbor's shoulder or 
waist) and not use this as an opportunity to twirl - otherwise it's too 
easy to get off-track for transition

Transition to next round - let go of person you're wheeling with and 
reach right hand to next neighbor, who is the same person you met in 
A(1) & A(2).

Finale for last round - after neighbor swing in B(1), women cross back 
to balance & swing partner.

[Note - this is slightly different from the trad. version in _/Zesty 
contras/_, provenance unknown. I picked it up when calling contras in 
Philadelphia in the late 1980's - folk process?]
