TO GET IN FORMATION
1) hands four becket
2) take hands eight (up & down)
3) identify trail buddy couple

Trail buddy couples get zigzaged as they progress.
Left-side couples zero progress.
Right-side couples double progress.

Alternate wording if that didn't make sense - 1s & 3s progress down the hall, 2s & 4s progress up the hall. 1s & 3s / 2s & 4s swap roles each time. 1s & 4s zero progress, 2s & 3s double progress.

END EFFECT CHOREO - FOUR OUT
B2
8 [major set] promenade ccw, face trail buddies
8 circle R once
A
8 long lines forward & back
8 right left thru
A2
16 whole hey, ladles pass R
B
16 partner balance & swing

EDIT 2026/10/23 - hey changed to ladles passing R with trail buddy couple as opposed to partner L (but still doing the hey with trail buddy couple)
