Cts 1-8: retaining R hands, balance toward and away from partner 2 times (like Korobushka)
Next 8:  Women march 8 steps towards center, slowly turning over right shoulder after meeting to face out. Meanwhile, Men pass out of circle, replacing W and facing in on first 4 Cts, standing and clapping as W complete the figure.
Next 8:  Women march 8 more steps out of center toward partner, ending by taking right hands. Positions are now reversed, W have back to center, M face in.

Repeat of C: repeat figure with balances, but now M march to center, and W step out and wait.
At end of figure, M does not take R hand, instead stands to left side of partner, facing in, ready to begin dance in large circle with this new partner. (W can begin circling right a little early, allowing her partner to fall in behind her)
