"R&L" indicates hands, "circular hey" indicates no hands.
CW/CCW = clockwise/counterclockwise
Unless otherwise specified, hand turns and circles are once around, corner/partner/neighbor changes are by R shoulder, and duple minor dances are proper.
The video links, where included, may not show the dance at its best, but they will show how it works.
