A1: 1-2: All step and honor (Fried doesn't say, so I'd say face diagonally in) 3-4: All turn single 5-8: 1s corners cross by right, turn to the right, go around the standing 2nd corner people in to own place. A2: 1-8: As above, with 2nd corners crossing. B1: 1: Face neighbor: Clap own hands together twice, then clap both with neighbor once.

B2: 1: 1s lead down (three steps) 2: 1s lead up (three steps) 3-8: 1s cast (2s moving up), lead down through next 2s, cast up to progressed place (skipping). All turn partner two hands.
