The B1 is: (8) Circle left 1 (2) Partner gypsy right 1/2 (6) Women gypsy left 1 while men orbit clockwise 1/2 to other side The timing is tight on this. The partner gypsy could also be thought of as 3/4. The original A1 on Ted Crane's website is: A1 (new) Neighbor balance, box the gnat Men allemande left 1 & 1/2 As noted by others, the B2/A1 transition is poor, as the guy's hand is still stabilizing his previous neighbor. What I guess you have is a mis-copied A1 variant. The A1 variant I have (which has been called by Lynn Ackerson, and I'm guessing she may have created it) is: A1 Long lines forward and back _Men_ allemande left 1 & 1/2 This cleans up the messy transition between B2 and A1. -Chris Page San Diego
