+Fan the Top: ladles allemande left 3/4, gentlespoons walk up to take right hands with the same neighbor, forming a Tidal Wave of all 8 people.
++ From the tidal wave, just pull by right to courtesy turn your partner, in the spot where you started.
+++ In the manner of "wrist grip", may I suggest "elbow touch". This is the OCTOPUS! Your free right arms are now tentacles. Enjoy your silly fun.

There is more than enough time for the star, Poussette, and mad ladle. Invite dancers to have a relaxed pace.
Give dancers ample notice for “new neighbors, mad ladle”.
