[Callers] Contras which feature a "Dublin Bay" figure

[Jerome Grisanti via Callers]

Kalia,

In Erik's dance, it appears partners are in adjacent lines of four (whether
women or men are in front depends on which side of the set you're on, also
which way the lines are turned. It also appears that the first 12 beats of
the Dublin Bay figure are as usual, but the last 4 beats are replaced by
outsides turning down and insides walking up to meet their partners.
