Description:<\/span>
\n    <\/span>1-8   Head couples walk Forward and Back.
\n  <\/span>9-16   The same two couples join hands in the center and those four dancers circle to the left for eight beats (about once around).
\n17-24   The same four dancers circle to the right for eight beats.
\n25-32   The same couples make a Right Hand Star (right hands into the middle with finger tips up and touching) and walk forward to turn it once around. <\/p>\n

33-40   At home position dancers Allemande Left with their corner (turn corner by the left arm until dancers are facing their original partner).
\n41-48   Dancers come back to face their partner to begin a Grand Right and Left. (All dancers move forward around the circle beginning with a right hand pull by with partner, then a left hand pull by with the next, continuing this pattern for a total of four pull bys.)
\n49-56   When Partners meet on the far side of the square they do a DoSaDo (walk forward passing right shoulders, slide sideways back-to-back, then back up passing left shoulders to end facing each other where they began).
\n57-64   Partners Promenade halfway around back to home position. (Promenade handhold is usually described as “shake right hands then join the left hands underneath”. Regional or simpler variations may be used.)<\/p>\n

\nUsage:<\/span> The transition from Star to Grand Right and Left is a challenge for beginning square dancers and provides an opportunity for the “team” to be successful. Introduction and ending are caller’s choice.<\/p>\n
