Calling Notes:

Twirl to swap: "Men keep hands with his neighbor. That is, his left hand is connected to his neighbor's right hand. With his left hand, the man brings his neighbor's right hand in front of her face as he twirls her and exchanges places with her. He then places her right hand on his own right wrist to form the right hand star."
