Teaching Notes

B2. Note that there are five changes of varying speed. You have four steps for the first two changes and then need to get through three changes of a circular hey in the same amount of time. It’s traditional to skip. At the end of the hey, the 1s can catch inside hands to be ready for the lead down.
