Notes
Notes
1
The dance shares the same start as BOB, but has less challenging choreography in the second half to increase the opportunity to call it.
2
As in BOB, do not attempt to start the swing too soon in A1. If the men move straight across the set and the ladies are allowed to complete their gypsy, the men should flow into the partner swing.
