Calling Notes:

Not called as of 2019. Please contact Luke Donforth at calling.luke@gmail.com if you call this.

In the second A1 move, you let go of right hands as you start to pull by to each spin counterclockwise. Author describes it as "Mini-dip, stolen from swing dancing: pull by, passing back to back while turning 180; catch right hands."

Edit check: Does the partner pull by happen twice?
