NOTES
GNC 20060705
PA  20070623 (pretty rocky)

[1] A2 the result of discussion on trad-dance-callers.

[2] In the Gene Hubert original, sez Becky Nankivell, 
    A2 is two hands
          three hands
          four hands 3/4  (!)

   B2 is partners allemande R 1x
         men allemande L 1/2
         swing neighbor.

Harder than it seems (and people make it harder for themselves than they have
to, with buzz-step turns on the two-hand turn, overshooting, getting too much
into it.  Probably not a too-late-in-the-evening dance.

David Kaynor sez:

> 1.  Starting around beat 12 of A1, I prompt:  "#1s
> 2-hand turn".

> 2.  After the first or second beat of A2, I prompt:
> "Lady join; circle left".

> 3.  Around beat 5 or 6 of A2:  "Gent join; all 4
> circle left"

> 4.  Around beat 12 of A2t:  "With neighbor, gypsy"

> 5.  Around beat 4 of B1:  "With neighbor, swing"

> In the walk through, I generally say, "#1s 2-hand turn
> once around; #2 lady join, all three circle left once
> around; ladies draw in the #2 gent in between them;
> all 4 circle left brisky once around to home place;
> w/neighbor, gypsy; w/neighbor, swing ... etc., etc."

> .... and hope for the best.  Generally, it seems to
> work out OK.  The first few revolutions are usually a
> little rough, and no matter how hard I try, some folks
> never really start or finish anything on time.  But,
> generally, it seems to work out.
