[Callers] Star 1/2 -> Star 1/2?

[Chris Page]

Just a heads-up.

There's a number of ECD dances, especially 4-couple set dances, that have a
sequence of progressive 1/2 stars.

When teaching them, I find them to be the hardest part of the dance for dancers,
and where it's most likely to break down.

So the difficulty level may be more than you expect.
