Oops, sorry, I said allemande and meant right shoulder round. I mean, it could 
also be an allemande right, that might be nicer for people who prefer physical 
contact to eye contact — but it makes the transition into the swing clunky. 

I think I explained to Jerome (via the list) that it’s the Robins with their 
next Robin, so to speak — it’s the progression. Their partners simply scoot 
along the side a bit so that the swings end across from one another in Becket 
formation (progressed).
