The steps for the second half of this dance are identical to the first half,
except they are done on the opposite side. On counts 15 and 31 there is a
slight variation done for the line dance to compensate for the forward
progression of the dance and give a new wall to look at.

Contra-circles dance: Form two circles with dancers standing right shoulder to right shoulder.
The dancers that begin in the outer circle will progress clockwise and the dancers that begin
in the inner circle will progress counter-clockwise. After steps 1-2 the dancers should be
offset from each other so that on the side shuffle they can pass between each other.
The full turn will carry them apart a little more. Steps 11-12 (step, step forward)
should be used to bring the two circles back together facing each other.
The 1/4 turn in the jazz square will return dancers to original direction.
