This dance has some troublesome transitions. The 8 count swing at the start of the B1 would require a tune with a strongly half-phrased B. The transition from ladies chain to star right is awkward ( should that be star left?). Another minor issue is the ladies chain crossing the phrase.  I venture to guess that she is misremembering the dance.

Hello, all. I am mentoring a wanna-be caller who took notes when she first went to dances 40 years ago and wants to try one of those dances. She thinks it went like the following. Can anyone identify it? Thanks!!

A-2     Circle left (8)
         Partners do-si-do  (8)
