Down the hall, long waves in the middle. Will call the two groups Wave1 and Wave2
introduces moves: form a long wave, allemande, swing, down the hall, up the hall, circle
formation: improper
Take hands in a ring of four. Drop hands with your partner and face across the set. You should be with your neighbor on the side of the set facing your partner across the set. If you have your right hand free, go ahead and raise it high in the air. These folks are going to be called Wave #1. Lower your hands. If your left hand is free shake it around. You are going to be known as Wave #2.
A1: Wave1 people, hold up both your hands in front of you and walk into the center of the set. Take hands with the other people coming toward you to make long wavy lines in the center. Balance the wave to the left and then the right drop hands.
Wave2 get ready. It's your turn to march into the center of the set. As Wave2 marches in, Wave1 backs up. Wave2 balance left and right.
A2: Wave#2, keep holding on to the person in your left hand. Let go of the person in your right hand. With this person, allemande left 1.5x until you see your partner. Swing your partner. End that swing facing down the hall.

Heidi's original dance replaced the B1 with
LLFB
Ladles chain
Ladles full hey right
but I have both too many dances without Neighbor swings and too many dances with long lines - neither of those are necessary here, so I opted for the B1 above.

Contra corners
introduces moves: custom, balance the ring, California twirl
formation: four face four
Have dancers note their "trail buddies" and who their corners are. The two dancers in the middle of the line of 4 are corners and the dancers at the ends have their corners in front of them.

|
| 8 | middle 4 star right 4 places

| A2 | 8 | partners allemande left 1½
|
| 8 | other 4 star right 4 places

| B1 | 16 | partners balance & swing
|
| B2 | 8 | circle left 4 places
|
| 4 | balance the ring

In this case there are 8 places in the circle, so going 4 places is equivalent to half way.
Waltz. End of the first half.
