Dear John,
What is the timing for the A1/A2 in this dance? Or is it that the
dance has only one A?
Also, for role free changes on the diagonal, I usually say "right
diagonals cross" "left diagonals cross".
Thanks for the dances; always great to have new dances to use for ONS.

come up the hall is easier for beginners.)
