In looking at Kalia's suggestions, I've put the Itchinton dance in what
is more readable to me. Kalia, do I have it correct?

As written, it's proper (or, for a non-dancer crowd, "it doesn't matter which side you're on as long as you're across from your partner'), so I'd avoid using the gendered terms in the A2. And as written, it was RH then LH star but I think it flows better the other way.

Itchington Long Dance
Hugh Rippon, 1990

(pretending it's) Improper
A1: Star L/R;

A2:Wm DSD; Mn DSD

B1: Ones down center, turn alone, return, cast

B2:1s swing and look down for new Nbrs

For beginning dancers, I'd change B2 to Long lines forward and back
(good for connection, reduces swing time, which is often better for
beginners)

Good suggestion!  I'm making a note on the card.
