I called this tonight at a dance. I taught it as the Right hand star being
wrist grip and the Left hand star being hands across. By the end of the
dance, everyone was doing two hands across stars. I haven't gotten to dance
it, but the consensus on the floor was definitely hands across stars for
both. Folks still liked the transition to a neighbor do-si-do, it just
wasn't what I expected.

The intention was for the first star to be a wrist

tug.
It could be an allemande right instead of a do-si-do for more
connection, but I thought I'd ease up on the arms.

Hi Luke:
This is new by me, and if so, it looks very nice. Is the star R
wrist-grip, so
neighbors can tug into the dosido?
