Jefferson and Liberty

Contra Proper

Jefferson & Liberty

*EASY*

PROPER formation


1. Circle Left
2. Circle Right

3. Star Right
4. Star Left

5. Actives down the outside
6. and back

7. Actives in the center, down the hall (about 6 beats)
8. Back up 4 steps, actives arch, 2s through arch, on to next

If there are tons of beginners, I start the walking backwards in phase 8
(B2) really early, so that they have plenty of time to arch and send the 2s
through the arch.
