This dance was written for Allen and Alisa Dodson, woh won the dance at the 
2022 Hey Days auction.

Teaching notes:
- A2 7-8: The 1s wheel around with the person on the right movng forward
          so that their momentum leads them into the 1st corners balance at B1.

- B2 1-4: Circular Hey should remain within the set lines as much as 
          possible, keeping it square.  This makes a nice contrast to 
          the roundness of the heys.

- B2 5-8: the "pass R loop L" for the end couples is rounded, like an S-shape.
