Notes
1
Wake Up Susan is a 48-bar version of Mason's Apron. It is in the Fiddler's Fake Book.
2
Stay where you are if there is nobody on the left diagonal in A1/A2
3
Any couples out in C1 should also balance and swing and finish on the ladies side (top) or man's side (bottom) ready to join in the next A1/A2
