Calling Notes:

This dance is the equivalent of taking a four-face-four, circling right 1/8, and forming a square with head and side couples. But it's probably easiest to start by asking the dancers to form a longways line of squares.

Pairs of couples progress with each other, swapping roles between heads and sides each time.
