original direction in that new place

Note: "*If you are on either end of a line of 4, your corner is opposite you in
the other line. If you are near the center of the line, you will swing the
person next to you who happens to be a trail buddy that you will swing every
other time through the dance.
          During the pass throughs in B2, Marty recommends 'when turning alone,
do the polite and friendly thing, which is to turn toward your partner.'"
The pass thrus are very quick.

4-face-4 LW contra (2 couples side-by-side facing 2 other couples, etc)

A1  1-4  Lines of 4 go forward and back
     5-8  Swing your corner and square your set
A2  1-4  All 4 ladies chain across
     5-8  Balance the ring of 8 and petronella 1 individual place to the 
right
B1  1-8  Partner balance and swing, and square your set
B2  1-4  Sides pass through and turn alone, then heads the same (very 
quick!)
     5-8  Balance the ring of 8 and petronella 1 place to the right, 
ending facing new line of 4

The kicker in this dance is B2, bars 1-4.  Heads and sides will be 
different each time through, and getting the sides to remember that they 
need to MOVE is where you should focus a bit of attention when you're 
teaching.  No hard moves here, and the dance works pretty well.  That 
one bit that you need to emphasize in the teaching is about as hard as 
it gets.  This one's a bit scrambly and can get goofy, but it works 
well.  And there's no circle left!
