Author's Notes:
Written in 1989 for my first nephew's birth
I use this often as an opening or closing dance and (for the last move) say "Say goodbye to this couple and hello to the next". I've learned it doesn't matter how the couple does it as long as they change places and direction.
This dance works well to all kinds of music and absolute beginners to the most experienced.
With many thanks to Carol Kopp for Marion's Delight which is obviously the dance this variation is from.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
