(Notes by Chris Page)
[1] A mad robin is a sideways do-si-do, ladles starting in front of their neighbor.
[2] A no-hands circle left 1/4 in your groups of four. Essentially ladles cross the set while gentlespoons sidestep to their left along the side of the set.
[3] Here you look at your neighbor across the set, and gentlespoons start by going forward to their right, ladles behind to their left, gentlespoons passing in front of partner.
