The Folk process at work....
The elbow turns are in the version on Erik's website:

I've been calling that dance since at least 2000 or so, and my copy (taken
from Erik's "Contra Comments" book, if I remember correctly), has hand
allemandes instead. I certainly danced it to Erik's calling in 1997-1999,
and I don't recall the elbow turns back then, but it's certainly possible
that it did, and I just transcribed the dance incorrectly.
In any event, I've always had great success with it using hand allenmandes.
