Erik sez:

I introduced this dance in Portland before I had chosen a title.  A woman asked
to copy it down.  Her name was (and still is, I presume) Valerie, visiting from
Juneau, AK.  I was pleased that she liked it and named it on the spot.  This
dance has become one of my favorites.  The pass through; swing through figure
involves a pass through to an ocean wave, immediately followed by an allemande
right halfway and gents turn by the left halfway to meet partners on the side.
