Calling Notes:

This is actually indecent becket. Take indecent formation, and circle left 1/4.
Man one and woman two at the start of the dance are the couple nearest the top (within the hands-four).

ZCS describes this as an improper mixer, where the A1 neighbor is your current "partner"

A1 through first half of B2 go nowhere.
