	41-48 	Same two couples Right and Left Thru (right pull by and Courtesy Turn).
	49-56 	Same couples Star Right for six steps.  On the last two beats the ladies slide across (Sashay) nose to nose as the gents turn around to make a four hand Left-Hand Star. 
	57-64  	Star Left once around to home position in six steps and face across the set on the final two steps.  Progression has been made.

Progression:  When a couple has no one to dance with, they are neutral for one sequence.  
During this time they exchange places with each other (crossover), remember that their role is changing, and wait for the beginning of the next sequence.  At the top Inactives become Active, at the bottom Actives become Inactive.

Usage:  This dance is designed for contra dancers with some dance experience.  The interesting small gimmick here is the Ladies Slide Across while the men turn back to change from a Right to a Left-Hand Star.  This nice gimmick is simple, effective, quick to teach and different.
Note:  To simplify a bit, replace “Actives Dosado” with “Long Lines Forward and Back”.
