Steve Zakon-Anderson notes: Written for the wedding of Janet Peters and Robert Mills in New Jersey.

Make sure the allemande in B2 doesn't turn into anything else (such as a courtesy turn or a twirl). There just isn't time for anything else.
There is time for the good dancers to end the star promenade with a butterfly whirl , but it is more important to start the hey on time.
