A 1 Partners "Two Cousins" siding: Partners begin swirly siding with L-shoulder,
    then curve in to meet R-shoulder to R-shoulder, taking hands low.
  2 Partners set toward each other and away (stay close).
3-4 Partners R-hand turn (low and close) 3/4 to change sides, then turn single left
    to the sideline (end in each other's place, facing neighbor).
5-8 Neighbors repeat: "Two Cousins" siding (starting L-shoulder), set toward
    each other and away, R-hand turn 3/4, and turn single L to end in each other's
    place, facing in (all end progressed and crossed over).
B 1-2 Partners back to back (R-shoulder), ending in one long wavy line down the
    center of the set (partner in L-hand, corner in R-hand).
3-4 Set forward and back (bar 3), then partners trade places, ending in a line of 4
    facing up (bar 4).
5-6 Line of 4 lead up a double and back, bending the line.
7-8 Circle L once round, then...
9   Turn single L.

Teaching notes:
- A 4: Dancers starting as 1st corners turn -- to face neighbor (in A 5), while
    dancers starting as 2nd corners only turn 1+1/4 to face neighbor.
- B 3-4: From the wavy line, 1s L-hand turn halfway to change places and face up
    in the center WHILE 2s pull by L-hand to change places across the set, looping
    onto the end of the line of 4.
