A1- 1st corners change places (the #1 man and #4 woman) do a “hole-in-the-wall” right hand turn to switch) (prompt early, they tend to forget). Same for second corners.

B2 – the second half is a meanwhile figure.
*The lines in A1 can also be done setting  R & L as you go forward and back.

        2s gate the 1s (8)

A2    2s cast below the 1s , 1s move up(4) All cloverleaf turn single (4)

B2     1s two-hand turn 1 ½  (8)
         Cast below the 2s, 2s move up (4)
         1s two-hand turn  1/2 to progressed place (4)

Author’s Note: in B1, if the dancers are not highly experienced, substitute a full figure pf 8 for the 2s. A1 & A2 can also be done with a 8-count cast, eliminating the cloverleaf turn single.
