Notes
1
Slink: Ladies/men, followed by partner, (continuing out of the courtesy turn) cross right and turn round their right shoulder into a partner/neighbour swing. This move was invented by Michael Barraclough on 16 Oct 2019.

Original B2 1-2 was ‘pass through across the set’ with the suggestion that the men go first to reduce crowding. I created the ‘slink’ move to avoid the collisions.
