Double-progression. (Be ready at ends!)
A wedding gift for my friends Ethan Hazzard-Watkins and Anna Patton. (At the end of their excellent self-uniting ceremony, Ethan said to Anna "You may kiss the groom!")
At the start of A2, dancers should spot their next neighbor on the left diagonal so the gentlespoons know who to aim for.
