Calling Notes:

Ones double progress downwards. Twos single progress upwards. Threes triple progress upwards. Twos and threes change roles as they progress, but stay with each other each time through the dance.
Could start dance with twos proper first time. (Note if threes forget partner California twirl in A2, it still works fine, just twos will be proper) Threes could also be proper or improper -- it doesn't matter.
