Have dancers identify their opposite-role dancer on the right diagonal before starting. A1 has the gentlespoons cast off down the set to that identified dancer for a swing. Each other time through, it will be the neighbor they mad ladle with.
The pass through in the B1 is just undoing the reverse-progression in the A section. The only real progression is the slide left in the B2. In more detail -
* A1 - End the previous neighbor swing across from a shadow
* A2 - The j-hook promenade leaves dancers facing their partners
* B1 - The pass through takes dancers from their previous neighbors back to their current neighbors
* B2 - With the slide left, dancers finally progress on to new neighbors
Based on Red Beard Reel by Bob Isaacs, now even redder and more beard-y.
