[Callers] Trip to Lambertville - 2 Questions

Hi, I have two questions about Steve Zaikon-Anderson's "Trip to Lambertville". (1) At the end of A1 the men are in a long wavy line and they balance. It seems that dancers are balancing right and then left most often. Since the next figure is Gents Allemande Left, balancing left then right instead would seem better as this would make sharing weight on the gent's allemande more satisfying. (2) I have seen two versions of A2. In one the gent's allemande left to their neighbor for a balance and swing. In the other version the gents allemande left to a wavy line of 4 across the set, balance in that wave and then swing their neighbor. In Nelson, NH, where I dance a lot this version (into the wave of 4) is how it is danced. I am planning on calling the dance at the Scout House in Concord MA soon and am wondering which version is more common there. Thanks for whatever help you can give, Rickey Holt, Fremont, NH.
