Rick Mohr notes: Micah Smukler invented the cool "waves to diamonds" sequence for his dance Goody Two Shoes; I hope this somewhat simpler dance gives it wider circulation. With a couple relaxed walkthroughs most dancers get it well.

In the A2, the roll away is with your new neighbor. In order to be on time, the roll away happens on the way back (the last 4 beats) of the long lines. Ladles roll the gentlespoons away in front from the right to the left, allowing for a smooth transition into the chain.
