For this contra circle mixer dance, form two circles with the dancers on the inside circle facing line of dance (counter clockwise) and the dancers on the outside circle facing reverse line of dance (clockwise). Make sure you are positioned so you can pass through the “window” on the vines. Your first “partner” is to your right front diagonal.
