Teaching Notes from Jim: 

* The transition between A1 and A2 is a bit unusual in that couple 1
ends up slightly below couple 2 coming out of the handy hand allemande,
so it really works nicely for couple 2 to end their swing facing down
and gent 2 twirl the lady across to the neighbor for the swing.  

** For the mini grand square have couple 1 remain close together and all
face their partner at the end of the couple 1 swing, use same rhythm as a
normal grand square, 1,2,3, turn.  1's take 3 small steps apart then
turn up set while the 2's take 3 small steps together and turn down,
couples take 3 small steps up/down hall then turn to face across: 2's
take 3 steps apart and turn up, 1's 3 steps together  then turn down: on
the last leg couples take 4 steps up/down to progress to next
neighbors..  Emphasize dancers travel up the outside and down the
inside.
