hook: CA twirl to cloverleaf
by: Rick Mohr
formation: improper
Start walkthrough with neighbor swing, to put the 1s below the 2s. (It'll still work even if you don't, but it'll be more intuitive for the ladles this way.)
| A1 | 8 | ladles allemande right 1½
|
| 8 | partners swing
| |
| A2 | 8 | circle left 3 places
|
| 8 | mad robin, ladles in front (facing partner)
| |
| B1 | 4 | balance the ring
|
| 4 | partners California twirl to form cloverleaf (see notes)
| |
| 4 | balance the cloverleaf
| |
| 4 | gentlespoons roll away neighbors using connected hand
| |
| B2 | 4 | balance the ring
|
| 4 | partners California twirl to face new neighbors ⁋
| |
| 8 | neighbors swing
|
B1: Balance the ring, CA twirl with partner (now you're facing away from those neighbors). Keep your partner's hand, face partner then face those same neighbors, and join free hands in a cloverleaf with those neighbors.
Balance the cloverleaf, let go of your partner, and use the connected hand with that neighbor to roll away with a half sashay to trade places (no hand change needed).
