Calling Notes:

Form two-leafed clover: Names as "Double-back-dip": Keep hands joined out of the ring balance, men raise left arm, women right, women go counterclockwise under joined arch into cuddle position, forming two-leafed clover/two-faced line, where women are facing same direction as neighbor, and women are right shoulder to right shoulder in the middle.

Unwrap two-leaf clover: Undo that, returning to the position of the ring balance in the A1.
