In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbLja2-Qu7c of "Northeast on Southwest" as danced at the 2012 Dance Flurry, with Susan Petrick calling, the A1 part is danced (starting from Becket formation) as Circle L 3/4 Pass through along New neighbor swing so I'd presume that's the way she wrote it. Of course it's possible that she has changed her preference since then. It's also possible that she originally had dancers find new neighbors by sliding left (or by looking on the left diagonal) and changed her preference _before_ calling it at the 2012 Flurry. Or maybe she varies the A1 according to which A1s occur in other dances in here program for a particular event. Or <insert random speculation here>. But absent further information from Susan herself or from people who have seen/heard her all the dance more recently, I'm inclined to assume that the "official" version of the A1 is as given above. In these two videos with Will Mentor calling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE9uG3ev3Hs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ_inj42ZDQ dancers progress to new neighbors by sliding left before the circle instead of by passing through along the set after the circle. The title line for the latter has "by" instead of "on" in the name of the dance, but in the video itself you can hear Will announcing the dance as "Northeast on Southwest." --Jim
