Figs: WAL1.5:PB&BTG:PBHH4:PS:MAL1.5:NS:WC:CL3/4:

A1 (8)   Ladies allemande left 1-1/2
   (8)   Partner balance and box the gnat
A2 (8)   Pull by partner right into half a hey
   (8)   Partner swing
B1 (8)   Men allemande left 1-1/2
   (8)   Neighbor swing
B2 (8)   Ladies chain (over, not back)
   (8)   Circle left 3/4 and pass thru [and ladies catch left hands with
         next lady to start allemande left ...]


NOTE:

Very nice dance.  Transition B2-A1 needs prompting after the rest; not 
altogether intuitive.

PA20080209 (Swing Farm): Quite nice.  The dance is bitty, and maybe I should
have asked for jigs - I need very clear 4-bar phrasing.
