Author's Notes:
I was trying to combine elements of Ed Gilmore's "Ends Turn In" with Roger Whynot's "Swing to a Line."
When the heads go in to circle in phrase C the sides are left standing on the "wrong" side of their partner. It is somewhat better if they swap places at this point, but if they don't the dance will still work and eventually fix things nicely.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
