Hi Rich,
If I am reading the dance correctly, and perhaps this has been already
suggested
How about a: Cal Twirl into the Partner swing. This can be done by either
partner
Its quick and sets up the swing nicely.
Thanks Gale

I thought about that too. You could twirl the lady under right into your
arms, but otherwise it seems a bit clumsy.

Ok....the wave balance (with partner's left hand)
into a swing seems
really awkward. I'm sure there's a way to make it flow, but I'm
missing it. Thoughts?

A2: Ladies chain over and back
B1: Star L; star R with NEXT couple down
B2: Actives swing; end facing up and cast off with original neighbor
If A1 is too rushed, what about
A1: Actives turn by R 1-1/2; allemand L neighbor, etc?
