Notes:

1. I think of these two sequences as a Mad Robin Plus (not a Mad Robin 1½ )  in
the final two beats - the ladies and gents respectively are doing something
different from the lateral movement of the Mad Robin figure.

 

2. The two Mad Robin Plus's are slightly different.

 

3. I recommend moderate to slow tempos either with a jazzy or  minor key-like
feeling.

    Airdance's set Fred Bartell / Jig Jazz works particularly well.
