| 8 | neighbors swing

| A2 | 8 | long lines forward & back

Note that the two box circulates are different. The first has gentlespoons looping to the /left/, while the second has ladles looping to the /right/. In both cases, the Gentlespoon follows their partner.
End effect: While waiting out, you may offer a hand for the wave balances, but do not circulate. To reenter, slide left and partner swing.
