Calling Notes:

Will Mentor describes the starburst as a "dolphin turn single":
"1. Women walk across and out of the set a couple of steps/men follow neighbor -- all pass their partner and same-role neighbor.
2. Everybody indivdivudally loop right as if you and your neighbor are the middle couple in a dolphin hey.
3. Dancers now are facing back across the set with the man in the lead and women looking at your neighbor's back.
4. Men walk back across the set/women follow their neighbor until everyone is next to their partner by the right shoulder."
