Calling Notes:

Unphrased. Gender-free, so those A1/A2 labels are merely place.
Notation is for five-couple set, but could adapt for other set lengths.
Any time people cross in the A1, A2, or B1, they high-five

In the B1, the top couple swings, and the other lines individually lead around them, going up one side and down the other. See the original post for details.
