In fact it's
A1 heads 1/2 r+l through, 1/2 ladies chain
A2 sides the same
B1 all circle L 1/2 way round, swing corners
B2 promenade with corner (new partner) back to men's original place.
I got this dance from Mary Panton (who I don't think wrote it herself).I
quite often use it as a first dance, to get the measure of the punters.
