Contra improper

A1  Neighbor Balance & Swing
A2 Right hand star 3 places; Invert the star(see the note below)
      Left hand star
B1 Gents loop right around neighbor (behind) then cross. Meet partner
      Ladies follow gent's path around the loop but don't cross.  Meet Partner.
      Partner Swing
B2 Circle left 3 places; Circle Balance; California Twirl


Notes   Identify Gent's Home place before start of dance.
Both stars end with the gent in his home place.
Invert the star means:
      Gents reach across their body with their free (left) hand
        to the lady who is behind them.  Ladies take gent's hand.
      Let go of the original star.  Make an arch.
      Gents step back slightly to allow ladies to step thru the arch.
       Joined left hands come down into LH Star.

Will Mentor called a square dance with this move at a Folk School event.  I had
never seen this move used in a contra dance, so I wrote one.

I thought the hard part to teach would be "invert the star" but people get that
fine.  B2 seems to cause problems, though. The gents have trouble looping over
their right sholder away from the star.   For some reason they turn and try to
walk directly to ther partner. This causes a collision in the center of the
set.   I'm still working on how to teach this.
