Author's teaching notes:
"Start next to your partner, end up on same side of set, reverse progressed two places (i.e. slide to the right) next to partner.
All left hand turns on the side are with same gender
Gent's first corner is neighbor gent
For second center turn, you end up on the same side of the set that you start on
Last center allemande is with next neghbor
Teach dance and then back up and switch active/inactive roles with a right and left through, teach again that way.
