Not well-executed, but only one I could find.

Part  Bars  Description
A      8    Double figure eight (1's start crossing down between the 2's).
            2's end the figure by crossing down, but they maintain eye contact.
       4    1's advance towards partner and retire 
            WHILE 2's fall back then advance to partner.
       4    Mirror gypsy with neighbor (1's start going down the center)
B      4    Mirror allemande with neighbor (same path as the gypsy)
       8    Ones, taking hand with partner and acting as a unit: Hey for "three" 
            across the set (1's pass left shoulders with W 2 to start)
       4    Mirror back-to-back with neighbor (1's in the center to start) 1+1/2 to 
            progress to next couple.
