<div>As is said, half stars are devilishly tricky. </div>

<div>Perhaps someone has fabulous teaching tips with half stars?<br>

<div>I have an English dance that has a similar sequence, with one half star, then a full star with new neighbors and another full star back with original neighbors. As Chris suggests, I find that part a bit trickier to teach than I expected. The difficulty
is in the orientation (particularly on the ends), not the timing. I set the dance to a half-length version of Larry Unger's
<i>Two Rivers </i>which is in waltz time, so the timing could be different in contra. I think the hands-across style star used in most English dances facilitates that kind of transition. I think it creates the nice flow pattern you envision, looking forward
to trying it. Nice idea, Luke!<br>

Here is the similar sequence in waltz time: <a href="http://dancevideos.childgrove.org/ecd/ecd-modern/308-starring-loretta" target="_blank">
