Last night I taught this dance and as we did it I felt there was an awkward part.  
1-4 Ist couple sets to and circles with second woman
5-6 1st couple sets to second man
In making the transition from the circle with the second woman to
setting to the first man should the first couple change hands so the
woman is now on the other side of her partner.  We kept hands it did
not seem smooth.

It seems that they would then go down the center on the opposite side
and return without switching sides so 1st man faces second woman, etc.
for the reel.

How do you do the dance?
Thanks
