BILL SEZ:

Notes: In A1 the chain is up and down the hall. Since this is a bit unusual it
is best to tell the dancers they chain to their neighbor and end up on side of
set with their partners. This figure works best if the sets are not too
crowded! This dance grew out of the desire to have the same figure done twice
but in different orientations each time. The hey in B2 is seven changes and
flows nicely to the circle L. The chain along to Partner B&S works surprisingly
well. This dance was written in July,2000, and first called at Bowdoinham Town
Hall on July 15. It's dedicated to all those "dancers" that come to the dance
but do not!
