Mark Elvins

Improper Contra, double progression

A1

• Gypsy right neighbour; swing neighbour, ending with men's side facing up, ladies' down

A2

• Promenade; turn as couples, promenade back

B1

• Reverse flutter wheel and sweep a quarter more; pass through and box the gnat with the next.
  • i.e. Men half turn by the left, collect partner and continue the turn to take her back to the side the men started; men let go and continue sweeping round to put the ladies back on the other side of the set so everyone is back to original places; pass through up and down to progress, and change places with the next for a second progression.

B2

• Half promenade new neighbour (the one you are holding right hands with from the box the gnat)
• Square through two to progress again.
