And yet most of those standards have the same B1 of ones lead down, come back, cast off, and a B2 of a full right and left through (or possibly a full chain for the few new-fangled improper dances). Sometimes I wonder if having a section where the dancers can go on autopliot is a good thing. It certainly cuts down on the new figure sequences that need remembering.
