The Ever Expanding Circle

Beckett

A1	Take hands with partner and Circle Left (8) and then Circle Right (8)
A2	Take hands with neighbors and Circle Right (8) and then Circle Left (8)
B1	Take hands along the lines and Circle Left (8) and then Circle Right to next neighbors (8)
B2	Long lines forward and back (8) Swing partner (8)

Note: As the circle expands, partners stay connected with man's right hand to woman's left hand. Progression is at the end of B1 where you continue to Circle Right past your current neighbors and on to the next where you then acknowledge them on the long lines forward and back. Couples out at the ends join in the large circle at the beginning of B1.
