    arms. Men catch her & swing.

Notes: From hands four I have dancers find the diamond shape by first swinging
the neighbor, then forming a ring and rotating 1/8 to the right. Then rotate
back and unswing your neighbor to start teaching the sequence.

I composed this dance during the five-hour drive to Kimmswick Dance Weekend in
May 2010. Based on Rory O'Nella, but I wanted to add spinning into your
partner's arms. It made more sense for the women to spin and the men to catch,
so I came up with this.
