Calling Notes:

B2 is not quite an accurate translation of the dance. Author's description: "The B2 starburst: 2s and 3s make room by continuing their direction out of the star,
2s curve up and left, slotting into the 1s position
3s curve up and right, slotting into the 2s position
they DON'T swap relative to each other."
