    Dudley, I thought you ( and maybe others) would like the figure for " Atlantic Polka", so I'm including it here.
    I found this dance while recruiting for a weekly dance that I hope to start in Sussex here in S.E. New Brunswick after the new year. This dance will be Social dancing and MWSD with Contras if possible:
    This Trad Dance runs all summer once a month and is shut down during the cold months,( Nov. till June.) as the hall is impractical to heat. Until recently there was another one at Smith's Creek, near Sussex but their fiddle player ( Elmer Shay), died and that ended that dance!

   The Atlantic Polka goes as follows but please make allowances for my interpretation of what happened.

         Fig 1         Cpls 1 &3  star prom inside bk to home
                            cpls  1 &3 heel toe facing each other
                            cpls 1 &3 sw. ptnrs across inside and bk
                             cpls heel toe corners

                              repeat for cpls 2 &4

           Fig. 2        #1 man sws ptnr dropping her to #2man &picking up ldy 2
                              etc. ending at home with #4 ldy
