Improper
| A1. | ( 8) | 1s take near hands, promenade down center past 2 cpls |

| ( 4) | N balance | |
| B1. | (16) | N sw |
| B2. | ( 8) | Long lines fwd & bk |
| ( 8) | 1s sw, end facing dn |
Timing for 1s to come up the outside and step between the 2s can be tight for beginners. A simpler alternative:
| A1. | (16) | 1s take near hands, promenade down center past 2 cpls, turn alone, return, turn to face N. |
Notes:
Circle mixer
| A1. | (16) | Into the center and back, 2× |
| A2. | ( 8) | P almd rt 1 1/2 |

| B1. | (16) | 4-in-line dn hall, turn as cpls, ret, bend line |
| B2. | ( 8) | Rt & lf thru |
| ( 8) | W ch |
The original has:
| B1. | ( 8) | 4-in-line dn hall, turn as cpls |
| ( 8) | return, centers hand-cast around ends |
Proper

| ( 4) | 1s bal P | |
| ( 4) | 1s spin clockwise to rt, end facing P with back to opposite-gender N | |
| ( 4) | 1s bal P | |
| A2. | ( 4) | 1s spin clockwise to rt into center, M1 end facing dn, W1 end facing up |
| ( 4) | 1s bal P | |
| ( 4) | 1s spin clockwise to rt, end facing P with back to same-gender N | |

| B1. | (16) | 1s dn center, turn alone, ret, cast off w/ same-gender N |
| B2. | (16) | Rt & lf thru (over and back) |
I called this dance as a "retrospective", teaching and calling it as above for the first 4 times through, and then the band stopped playing and we brought the dance into the 1960s (the "citronella" variant, where everybody gets to twirl):
| A1. | ( 4) | 1s spin clockwise to rt into center, M1 end facing up, W1 end facing dn, while 2s slide up to orig 1s position |
| ( 4) | Everybody take hands in a diamond, bal diamond | |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right | |
| ( 4) | Everybody bal diamond | |
| A2. | ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to rt |
| ( 4) | Everybody bal diamond | |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right | |
| ( 4) | Everybody bal diamond | |
| B1. | (16) | 2s spin one place to rt (back home), while 1s dn center, turn alone, ret, cast off w/ same-gender N |
| B2. | (16) | Rt & lf thru (over and back) |
Notice the slight awkwardness of the 2s having to get out of the way. After 6 more times through the dance the band changed to the tune Green Mountain Petronella, and I called the more modern version:
| A1. | ( 4) | 1s face dn, 2s face up, bal ring |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right | |
| ( 4) | Everybody bal ring | |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right | |
| A2. | ( 4) | Everybody bal ring |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right | |
| ( 4) | Everybody bal ring | |
| ( 4) | Everybody spin clockwise one place to right |
