Oops!  Sorry about that.

4-in-line (1s between 2s) facing down the hall,
4 steps down the hall and turn alone to face back up,
4 more steps down the hall (backing up, since facing up the hall),
4 steps up the hall and turn alone to face back down,
4 more steps up the hall (backing up, since now facing down).

The trick is to make the 8 steps down the hall one fluid motion, even with
the turn alone in the middle, and the same for the return.  In the
walkthrough I call it as "Down, down, down, turn alone, backup, backup,
backup, backup.  Forward, forward, forward, turn, backup, backup, backup,
backup".  In the dance itself I generally just call it as "Dublin Bay",
since it's a really easy figure for dancers to remember once they get it.
