Teaching Points
Couple 1 ALWAYS outside of back-to-back, handy-hand turns, and lines of 4
A2 bars 5-8: neighbors turn with R-hand on R-file and L-hand on L-file.
B1 and B2 bars 5-8: the lead up or down for the 2s is not very far — enough to come forward out of line before beginning the cast.
At end of B2, it works well for the 1s to curve over R-shoulder to get to progressed places. While it is common for lady to pass first in 1/2 figure of 8, in the video all the 1st MEN went first in the B2 figure, though the ladies generally went first in the B1.
