So while the rest of the line is turning itself inside out, W1 is not involved at all? I thought W1 was part of the inversion, thus ending up on the R end of the line once it was facing up. I was having the same confusion Keith was. So to clarify, lines of 4 down the hall after the N swing. W2 (2nd from the L) raises R hand to swap the gents, while W1 simply turns to face up. At the end of this maneuver all are next to their partners in the line o' 4, ready for to come back up the hall and swing. Have I got that right?

Ahh, I see: it's the A1/A2 where there's confusion. It's the second*lady* who does the right hand high, left hand low. So, after that
move, she is facing up the set, with her neighbor in her left hand, and
her partner in her right hand. The first lady is on the left end of the
set, facing up. So the balance and swing is on the side of the set, not
in the middle. The gents do NOT stay in the same place after the down
the hall; they switch places with each other when coming up.

A1/A2... I'm on the outside, holding my N's R hand... With the Dixie
twirl, I'm still in that spot. When we bend the line, my P and I are
above the 2s, in reversed position.
B1: All are swinging in the center of the set. When the swing
finishes, all are back to IMP position where they started.
B2: With one petronella, I move to the side with my P. When I CA
twirl, I'm turning with a N to progress.
In B1, if the M cross to their P and swing, then you progress the
wrong way. Is the instruction left out in B1 "W cross to P"... ?

Hi Keith,
The dance works fine-- I'm not sure where the confusion is.
Partner swing is on the side of the set, so one petronella
means you're facing up and down the set, next to your partner.
A CA twirl then makes you progress. 1s and 2s are indeed
across from each other when they swing, which is almost always
true when you swing your partner, and when 1s and 2s are across
from each other, you're on the same side of the set with your
partner.
In other words:
"1s and 2s are across from each other to swing, and when they
finish." Yes.
"A petronella would put your partner on the same side . . ." No.

This dance doesn't work the way I read it. 1s and 2s are
across from each other to swing, and when they finish. A
petronella would put your partner on the same side; a CA
twirl would then send you and your P in opposite directions.
