A1	Neighbour Mirror Dosido - #1s Down the Middle Neighbour Mirror Two Hand Turn - #1s Down the Middle - Finish in a Line of Four Facing Down the Hall - #1s in Middle
A2	Down the Hall in Lines of Four, Turn Alone Up the Hall in Lines of Four, Bend the Line
B1	Chevrons: Balance the Ring Moving One Place to the Left x2 - let go and Fall Back after the second one Set Forwards Diagonally to the Centre; Turn Single back to place
B2	Balance the Ring; Men Cross Over Balance the Ring; Ladies Pass Through, keeping hold of your Partner's hand to face New Neighbours

Music: I use Month of November; any good 32-bar waltz will do.

Notes: The Neighbour Mirror Two-Hand Turn needs to be emphasised as half the dancers need to turn anti-clockwise and they are conditioned to turn clockwise. I start the teaching by getting everyone to do a Two-Hand Turn then a Reverse Two-Hand Turn so that they get the feel of it. Then I emphasise that when you are on THAT side of the hall your Dosido and Turn are the opposite of the normal direction.
