As written, it's proper (or, for a non-dancer crowd, "it doesn't
matter which side you're on as long as you're across from your
partner'), so I'd avoid using the gendered terms in the A2. And
as written, it was RH then LH star but I think it flows better the
other way.

<font color="#3333ff">Of course! That's why I wrote "(pretending

corners & second corners, but I suppose I'm more of an
American style caller...<br>
<br>
And, about those A2 terms, for a beginner group I'd change that
to:<br>
A2: Partner DSD; Neighbor DSD<br>
as anything on the bias -- especially when it's likely to change
when you transform from one to two or vice versa--is confusing for
the uninitiated...<br>

For beginning dancers, I'd change B2 to Long lines forward and

(good for connection, reduces swing time, which is often better

beginners)

Good suggestion! I'm making a note on the card.
