or https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/~winston/mydances/passages.pdf


A1 1-2: 1s (improper) lead down through 2s.
   3-4: 1st man turns partner under their joined hands, as in Duke
         of Kent's Waltz (and finish facing up) [California Twirl]
   5-6: 1s lead back above their 2s.
   7-8:  1s 2-hand turn halfway.
  9-16: As above for 2s, who start by leading up through 1s.  2s
         end by opening toward 1s.

B  1-2: Circle L halfway (into ...)
   3-6: Half poussette clockwise, women moving forward to start.
   7-8: With partner, 2-hand turn halfway and open toward neighbors.
  9-10: Set R and L toward neighbors, without creeping forward.
 11-12: Drop hands with partner and pass neighbor by R shoulder.
 13-16: With partner, 2-hand turn once around.


Teaching Notes:

* The A part is a chance to fly
* The half-poussette comes in the middle of a phrase, and is a 4-bar figure
  after a whole bunch of 2-bar figures.  Dancers tend to be surprised by its
  timing the first few times they encounter it.
