The Wild Swans at Coole
a duple improper contra by David Kirchner

A1
With person to their right, actives allemande left (8)
With person to their left, actives gypsy (8)

A2
Actives balance and swing in center (16)

B1
Down hall four in line; turn alone (8)
Return; face across

B2
Half promenade (with neighbor) (8)
Right and left through across (8)

Notes: In A1, active gent allemandes previous neighbor and gypsies current neighbor; active lady allemandes current neighbor and gypsies previous neighbor. Never called; I never did figure out how to teach and call the A1 sensibly, and I eventually just left it behind. The title is borrowed from a poem by W.B. Yeats.
