NOTES This dance is done in contra by groups of only two partners facing each other, and moving in a CW circular pattern, during the course of the dance, around one another.  Couple pairings should be scattered around the dance floor to allow enough room for each couple to dance without interference from another couple.
Make sure the partners keep each other in their peripheral vision, so each member keeps his steps the same size as the other's, or they will eventually collide.
