Choreographer's notes:

Often, when we pull across by the right hand, if we hold on too long, it leads to ladles turning over their right shoulder, which is bad for e.g. a right and left thru. But in this dance, it's good flow for the ladles to keep turning right into the neighbor swing.
Teaching notes:
* B2 needs to be zippy. After the star 3 places, we've come to original place.
