   blurb: "flowy facing star dance with surprising progression."
   choreo:
     a1:
-      - neighbor inside hand balance and twirl to swap[^2]
-      - facing star CW 1x (keep outside hands with N, larks take RH/robins take LH; larks go forward/robins back up)
-    a2:
-      - neighbor right shoulder 'round and swing
-    b1:
       - balance the ring, give and take partner to the lark's side
       - partner swing
-    b2:
+    a2:
       - circle left 3/4
-      - with partner, zig zag to the FAR SIDE of new neighbors[^3] and turn single[^4] to face them

   footnotes:
-    1: As a normal improper dance but with the 1s below the 2s. To get here, start in improper, note everyone's direction of progression, and then swing this neighbor to swap places with them. (Importantly, everyone will still be progressing in the direction that they originally identified—i.e. from here, they'll be progressing to the neighbors BEHIND them.) When out at the ends, wait out improper. You might consider starting the first walkthrough at A2.
-    2: Lark's left hand/robin's right hand; balance and twirl to swap (by default, with the robin going under the joined hands). (I was informed by some Modern Western people that it is technically a mirror star through, but the name of the twirl is IMO unimportant.)
-    3: Zig left and zag right to your new neighbors (the dance will restart with them), and continue zigging right/zag left to the far side of that couple. (It's a SINGLE PROGRESSION DANCE, so don't start dancing with new new neighbors in improper.)
-    4: I recommend turning towards your partner (for a brief moment of eye contact), as it gives good momentum for everyone's correct hand in A1. Consider teaching this, as dancers have wildly different ideas of how to turn single.

 As a choreographer, I strive to write dances that are both compelling and idiomatic--the coolest dance in the world isn't worth anything if it doesn't flow well enough for people to get the hang of it.
