Editor's Notes:
Common variant (also in Zesty Contras):
A1) Neighbors swing (16)
A2) Right and left through (8); 1's swing
The timing in B2 can easily get mushy if the caller is unclear about it. Personally I find the dance much more satisfying if the cast into the circle is done with careful timing.
The Brimmer and May School gym was (and perhaps still is) the site of the Country Dance Society square dance. (Information from Zesty Contras).
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
