 +Teaching points:\\
 +The A parts leisurely which contrasts with the quicker turns of the B part,\\
 +At the end of the B part there is a poise point before the siding in the C part.
 +For camera lens siding (C2 bars 1-4), you dance the same individual path as Sharp siding except
 +that you face on the diagonal in your duple minor foursome, curving in with R-shoulder leading
 +so all have R-shoulder together in the center and curving out to the sidelines with L-shoulder
 +leading. See diagram on page 57.\\
