As written, it's proper (or, for a non-dancer crowd, "it doesn't

partner'), so I'd avoid using the gendered terms in the A2. And
as written, it was RH then LH star but I think it flows better the
other way.
Of course! That's why I wrote "(pretending
it's) Improper." I did suspect that it'd be proper, with first
corners & second corners, but I suppose I'm more of an
American style caller...
And, about those A2 terms, for a beginner group I'd change that
to:
A2: Partner DSD; Neighbor DSD
as anything on the bias -- especially when it's likely to change
when you transform from one to two or vice versa--is confusing for
the uninitiated...

(pretending it's) Improper
A1: Star L/R;
A2:Wm DSD; Mn DSD
B1: Ones down center, turn alone, return, cast
B2:1s swing and look down for new Nbrs
For beginning dancers, I'd change B2 to Long lines forward and
back
(good for connection, reduces swing time, which is often better
for
beginners)
Good suggestion! I'm making a note on the card.
