Calling Notes:

A's are facing down in a sixsome, from left to right they're ones-twos-threes.

B's are facing up in a sixsome, from their left to right they're fours-fives-sixes

In the B1 hey, men hey with men, women hey with women. It's mirror heys.

The B1 is not a dip-and-dive. Arches stay arches the whole time through.

The B2 give-and-take is a significant adjustment, espectially for couples 2 and 4. You and your partner go to progressed places,

Lines of three couples finish 2-3-1.
