Bob Isaacs notes: The give and take figure originated from Larry Jennings, the great caller and writer from Boston. End the neighbor swing in shoulder/waist position, take two steps forward, and the gentlespoons take their partner’s hand and lead her to his side for a swing. Some “hard-to-get” playfulness usually goes along with this. In this dance the figure is a good alternative to circle L ¾, and in other dances can go to either side of the set.
This smooth-flowing dance was written by one top caller for the marriage of two other outstanding callers, Linda Leslie and Bob Golder, all of whom are from eastern Massachusetts.

A2: emphasize that the gentlespoons finish the first mad ladle moving left and back, sink back while the ladles trade, then gentlespoons move forward and right to retrace their steps for the mad ladle in the other direction. If they don't take those beats to prep and consciously reverse direction, then the gentlespoons are just sort of standing there without any momentum and it's tricky to get the next mad ladle to go the right way.
