The A1 balance LEFT then right is editorial; I think it flows better but as far as I can tell it wasn't specified in the original dance. (Also, experienced dancers often balance to the right here out of instinct, so either really emphasize the balance left or don't bother.)

Becket-ized version of Tom Hinds' The Carousel, but without the chunky feeling of long lines forward and back (technically the slice is almost lines forward/back, but dancers can ooze it a bit more, especially since it's a slice and take).
Queue-less, not clueless, because this time The Carousel has no lines. Unlike my program, which at the time had 5 LLFB and one just had to go.

Choreographer's notes:
Often, when we pull across by the right hand, if we hold on too long, it
leadsto ladles turning over their right shoulder, which is bad for e.g.a right and left thru. But in this dance, it's good flow for the ladles to keep turning right into the neighbor swing.
Teaching notes:
* B2 needs to be zippy. After the star 3 places, we've come to original place.
