THIS IS A CONTRA DANCE, so make 2 lines facing each other & position yourself slightly between people on the opposing side. Once you go through the whole dance twice and are back on your starting wall, you will see that you always kick heels with the same person A, and you will always clap hands with the same person B. If you are kicking and clapping with different people each time, it’s because you got off track somewhere or new people entered the floor. I would encourage new people coming onto the floor to go to the ends so they don’t confuse the lineup.
