Bradley Smith Notes: Originally, the last figure of this dance was a neighbor do-si-do 1 1/2, but I usually swap it for the ring balance and pass through to make the progression as simple as possible for inexperienced dancers.

formation: improper
| A1 | 8 | star left - hands across - 4 places

| 8 | gentlespoons drop hands; make turn to right MEANWHILE ladles continue star til you get to your partner

|
| B2 | 8 | right left through courtesy turn 3/4 til ladles join right hands to begin star

Teaching B2: "Continue the courtesy turn til ladles can take right hands in the center to start a right-hands-across star. Gentlespoons, join the star right BEHIND your partner."
Calling B2: "Ladles first star"
Last B2: right left through; swing your partner
