[Callers] need help with Rory O'More

Hi! I'm a fledgling amateur caller in Memphis TN, I've been doing this a little over a year. I just called my first dance with contra corners last week, Kathy Anderson's "Labor of Love," and it went really well, so I'm excited to be planning Rory O'More as a follow up this week. Our band is set to play a medley with the tune, and the only problem is that I don't understand the A1. I guess our group doesn't do many traditional dances, and there is no ECD here, so I'm just not able to visualize what "cast off proper" looks like. Casting off is not something we do at our dance, or at least that is called. I've tried looking it up in a few different dance glossaries, but the descriptions haven't helped me visualize it at all. Here is my source for the dance: http://www.davidsmukler.syracusecountrydancers.org/rory.htm Rory O'More Tune: same Duple proper A1 Actives cross the set, go down the outside below one neighbor Cross back as you come up the center, cast off proper and step into the center giving right hand to your partner and left to the next active person to form a wavy line of actives down the center of the set A2 Balance the wave to the right and left, give a little tug to slide face-to-face past your partner, and give right hands to the next and left to your partner Balance that new wave to the left and right, slide left past your partner again back to where you came from B1 Turn contra corners B2 Actives balance and swing, end proper A verbal description would be wonderful, but a link to video footage or animation that showed exactly what happens would be even better. I'm a visual and kinetic learner. Also the woman crosses in front of her partner, or behind? Thanks in advance for the help!!
