++ Colonnade: ones join left hands to make an arch and hold that arch for the entire figure. Ladles trade by left shoulders with ladle two going under the arch, and the arch moves. Gentlespoons trade by left shoulders with gentlespoon two going under the arch. Ladles trade back, gentlespoons trade back. Each trade has 4 beats of music, so there's no need to rush.
+++ At the ends, when your shadow is your neighbor, and there are not two other people to do the square thru, instead allemande right (once and a) half, then look for your partner.
