Here's a potential cure-for-the-claps contra. The petronellas lead
into an allemande left and a swing, both of which are better
without the clap.
Improper
A1 (16) Neighbour balance and swing
A2 (8) Balance the ring and petronella turn
(8) Swing partner
B1 (8) Balance the ring and petronella turn
(8) Neighbour allemande left 1+1/2
B2 (16) Women pass right shoulder to start a whole hey
Untested, of course
