Author's Notes:
Dedicated to Kip. I invented the linked star promonade and the star into star promonade figures, only to find another dance using linked star promonades a month or so later.
Ladies may spin right out of the star into the star promonade. I'm not yet sure if this is a graceful transition, but it's worth a try with an experienced crowd.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
