Notes: Progression takes place in A1. [Dancers progress forward two places, then back one place for a net progression of one forward.]
The Zig, Zag, Zig is done by holding inside hands {man’s right joined to lady’s left}; couples move {Zig} to their individual left to move
past their current neighbors {ladies passing right shoulders}; then move {Zag}to their individual right to move past their second
neighbors {men pass left shoulders}; then move {Zig}to their individual left again to come face to face with neighbors #3. All
should then allemande Neighbor #3 by the right 1X to face Neighbor #2.
