Notes
Notes
1
In the transition from A2 to B1, the top couple continue to chasée down while the other couples separate (sharpish!).
2
In B2, as yopu meet your partner beyond the arch come up under the arch with your partner (no passing/overtaking) to new positions.
3
The lead up at the end of B2 transitions directly into the lead up in A1.

Based on The Farmer's Wife.
