Balance the Wave (L/R) (4)

B1 Half Promenade; Ladies' Chain
B2 Half Promenade; Ladies' Chain

Music:
32 bars of jigs or reels.

Notes:
I like Steve Zakon-Anderson's Trip to Lambertville, but wanted an easier second half for my permanent beginners.

The Men's Allemande works much better if they Balance Left/Right in their Tidal Wave. I usually warn the ladies to face CW and get their right hand ready for the Ocean Wave.
