so when teaching the dance it would be useful to teach it starting at the B1 through the B2 to complete the progression --- to then walk through the A1& A2 contra corners with both 1st & 2nd Corners for all? ----Unless you had very experienced folks who would be comfortable with ghost corners in the walk through. UNLESS I am not understanding the dance format at all.... which is always possible.
It looks like fun!
