A2/B1 Circle Left, with Next Circle Right, Back to First neighbors Circle Left: After the circle left 1X, you are on the side of the set with your neighbor, and your partner is across the set from you. Now, you have one hand with your neighbor - take that hand and give it to your partner. Keep that hand as you turn to face your new neighbors, and make a ring with them. [Using this technique, dancers will be compelled to turn toward their partner as they make the transition.]
Bob Green came up with the title for this dance.
