As written, it's proper (or, for a non-dancer crowd, "it doesn't
matter which side you're on as long as you're across from your

written, it was RH then LH star but I think it flows better the other
way.
Of course! That's why I wrote "(pretending it's) Improper." I did
suspect that it'd be proper, with first corners & second corners, but I
suppose I'm more of an American style caller...
And, about those A2 terms, for a beginner group I'd change that to:
A2: Partner DSD; Neighbor DSD
as anything on the bias -- especially when it's likely to change when
you transform from one to two or vice versa--is confusing for the
uninitiated...

(pretending it's) Improper
A1: Star L/R;
A2:Wm DSD; Mn DSD
B1: Ones down center, turn alone, return, cast
B2:1s swing and look down for new Nbrs
For beginning dancers, I'd change B2 to Long lines forward and back
(good for connection, reduces swing time, which is often better for
beginners)
Good suggestion! I'm making a note on the card.
