Notes:
This appeared with Paper Chains and The Holmfirth Square.
I am not quite sure about "right with partner going into a swing". This would work if you did a swing which involved the right hands staying connnected in an Allemande Hold, such as a Galway Swing or a Double Allemande Swing. But that would be unusual; most people don't swing like that. I think I would tell the dancers to go straight into the swing rather than taking right hands briefly then changing to a swing hold.
