| A1 | 8 | ladles chain ⁋
|
| 8 | next neighbors swing ⁋
| |
| A2 | 8 | next neighbors gyre 1½ ⁋
|
| 8 | next neighbors swing
| |
| B1 | 8 | ladles chain to partner
|
| 8 | left diagonal right left through - conga line ladles in
| |
| B2 | 8 | right left through conga line again ⁋
|
| 8 | partners swing
|
Timing is tight in the A part with all the moves taking 8 counts and being moves where people often embellish.
I teach the conga by saying you're going to trade places with another couple and you're going to do it as a conga line of 2. Ladle in the lead, passing the other couple on the right. I would put hands on shoulders, or no hands at all. I also emphasize that you've still got to keep it moving briskly if you want time for a satisfying swing at the end.
