Notes:

(1) Alan likes bouncy jigs for this even if there's "REEL" in the title.

(2) People seemed to enjoy it 6/6/07 in Berkeley.

(3) There was a general readiness to start promenading at the top of B1, and
people needed to get over it to actually do the dance.

      Notes: Written on October 11, 1997 on the way to the North Yarmouth
dance. I announced that the dance had no name yet, whereupon David Handwerker
reminded me it was the Yom Kippur, "The Day of Atonement".  This dance borrows
the promenade into circular wave balance from "Ted's Mixer" by Ted Sannella.  I
wanted the progression to be at the end so there was at least ONE balance and
swing with the original partner.
