The way it works…
Start by making two lines down the middle of the hall..
opposite your partner
Decide which line will be A-Team, and which B-Team. (ie: A-Team are the people on the right side of the hall)
Turn round, so you are back-to-back with your partner (the first four counts are moving away from your partner towards the wall)

35-36Right Step Back, Left Step beside right
37-38Right Walk forward, Left Walk forward (Lift arms for B-Team to pass under)
39-40Right Walk forward, Left Walk forward
START AGAIN
The tricky bit:
During counts 33-36, the A-Team holds hands with the person beside them, and raise their arms
The B-Team passes under the arch as you all walk forward during counts 37-40.
On the next wall it’s the B-Team who holds hands while A-Team passes under…
Sounds complicated but it makes sense once your all lined up.. Each side taking turns to hold hands and make the arch.
