For one thing, I would recommend that you specify
wrist grip stars. If you're doing a wrist grip
star, the gent will already have his (previous)
neighbor's wrist in his left hand. As they
finish the star, look for your new neighbor and
give them a right hand, catch previous neighbor
by the left hand and you're in the new waves. As
they finish the star, the gents will already be
facing slightly out of the set, and the ladies
will be facing slightly into the set, making it
easy to form the wave with the gents facing out and the ladies facing in.

Hi,
In United We Dance, by Bob Isaacs, I am curious how you tell people to
re-form the long wavy lines after the star in B2, to continue the dance. To
set up these lines from an improper formation before the dance starts it
seems sufficient to me just to tell the men to turn and face out and take
their neighbors right in their right. It is the transition from the star
left that ends the dance to that long wavy line that puzzles me some for
the women. It seems that the men can naturally end that star facing out,
but it seems that the women will end that star also facing out and will need
to take an extra turn to face in to set up that long wavy line for the
continuation of the dance. How do you tell folks to make this transition?
Other comments are, of course welcome, but it is this transition that, for
the women, I am wondering about. The full dance is below. Thanks,
Rickey Holt,
Fremont
Starting formation: Right hand long wave with neighbor. I take this to
mean two such waves, down the sides.
(A1) Balance and ROM slide Right / Balance and ROM slide Left
(A2) Balance and swing Neighbor
(B1) Circle left ¾ / Swing Partner
(B2) Ladies Chain / Star Left.
