Author's Notes:
This dance was finished in October, 1999 and dedicated to Barbara Groh, a wonderful dancer and caller from Asheville, North Carolina, on the occasion of her marriage.
A possible alternative in A2 would be for the women to allemand left once around after the second balance. This would propel the women toward their partners for a partner balance and swing in B1.
Editor's Notes:
Getting the ladies to let go in time in A1 may prove challenging, especially for beginners. That is only speculation as I've not yet called this dance.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
