First of all, do you know the name of this dance? That's what the original Q was. I researched the R Cromartie dances I could find, and this is none of them.
And I've now figured out the bad wording in A2 and understand the dance. A2 Down the hall; W2 Dixie twirls the two M, while W1 lets go and turns alone; come back up "Lady twists around" is not a clear direction.
