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.\\
