A1:Partner balance and box the gnat, right and left thru** (Not with neighbor)(????)

B1: Opposite Swing, circle 3/4
B2: Ladies chain; long lines forward and back
(***This is how the dance is written in my notes. However, as far as I can tell, it
doesn't work in Beckett or Duple improper. Looking at it, I think it must be right
and left thru with new neighbor and allemande right outside of the minor set with prior
neighbor, but then the dance doesn't progress without at least one more change.
Making B2 a partner swing and ladies chain does work.)
I have that as "No See Ums" by Beth Molaro, duple improper.
(I don't know of a published reference though.)
I believe the RL thru is: right to your partner (same hand from the
balance+box), then left to your neighbour.

You slide to the left to get new neighbors.

different.
