Roll in the Clover (KW var)

by: Rick Mohr

OR Sturgeon General

introduces moves: mad robin, California twirl, balance

formation: improper

Start walkthrough with neighbor swing, to put the 1s below the 2s. (It'll still work even if you don't, but it'll be more intuitive for the ladles this way.)

A1	8	ladles allemande right 1½
	8	partners swing
A2	8	circle left 3 places
	8	mad robin, ladles in front (facing partner)
B1	4	balance the ring
	4	partners California twirl to form cloverleaf (see notes)
	4	balance the cloverleaf
	4	gentlespoons roll away neighbors using connected hand
B2	4	balance the ring
	4	partners California twirl to face new neighbors ⁋
	8	neighbors swing

B1: Balance the ring, CA twirl with partner (now you're facing away from those neighbors). Keep your partner's hand, face partner then face those same neighbors, and join free hands in a cloverleaf with those neighbors.
Balance the cloverleaf, let go of your partner, and use the connected hand with that neighbor to roll away with a half sashay to trade places (no hand change needed).
