(6) Partner serpentine counterclockwise 1/2 around N1 (out-facing broken circle)

Calling Notes:

Final two moves of B2: "After the circle left 3/4, men should drop hands with their neighbors and keep hands with their partner. Men should then turn back over their left shoulder to lead their partner counterclockwise around the neighbors they have been dancing with {to progress to their next neighbors}. The man's right hand is connected to his partner's left hand; the man should put his right hand behind his back to lead his partner single file as they do the 'inside out' progression."
