Double progression.
When there is no one on your right diagonal, instead wait four beats and courtesy turn with your partner.
| A1 | 16 | Left colonnade “Ones arch, colonnade” ++
|
| A2 | 2 | partners pull by left to face your shadow
|
| 6 | square through three - shadows pull by right, then neighbors pull by left, then shadows pull by right +++
| |
| 8 | partners do si do once
| |
| B1 | 16 | partners balance & swing
|
| B2 | 8 | long lines forward & back
|
| 8 | right diagonal right left through ⁋
|
++ Colonnade: ones join left hands to make an arch and hold that arch for the entire figure. Ladles trade by left shoulders with ladle two going under the arch, and the arch moves. Gentlespoons trade by left shoulders with gentlespoon two going under the arch. Ladles trade back, gentlespoons trade back. Each trade has 4 beats of music, so there's no need to rush.
+++ At the ends, when your shadow is your neighbor, and there are not two other people to do the square thru, instead allemande right (once and a) half, then look for your partner.

End effect: If out during the B section, reenter as usual, with the LLFB. If out during A1 (from rollaway, waiting for the next neighbor DSD), wait half-sashayed. Although, if you reenter at the wave on the "wrong side", the dance will put you back with your partner for the swing and all will be well.

I Liked the LH Star to next neighbor DSD, and I moved the swings into the B sections.

Designate 1's and 2's
Colonnade is a new sequence. It takes 16 beats and ends with everyone where they began, like a Hey. Have 2's also practice the colonnade during the walkthrough.
| A1 | 8 | star right 3 places
|
| 8 | partners right hand balance & box the gnat
| |
| A2 | 16 | Colonnade - "1's Arch, Ladles trade: Colonnade!" +
|
| B1 | 16 | partners balance & swing
|
| B2 | 8 | ladles chain
|
| 8 | square through two - partners balance & pull by right, then neighbors pull by left ⁋

+ Colonnade: ones (join right hands to) make an arch and hold that arch for the entire figure. Ladles trade by right shoulders with ladle two going under the arch. Gentlespoons trade by right shoulders with gentlespoon two going under the arch. [stop here for 1/2 colonnade] Ladles trade by right, gentlespoons trade by right. Each trade has 4 beats of music, so there's no need to rush.
