A1. 8 1's pull by and go below one couple
    8 1's cross through center, cast around same-sex neighbor, and form a long
      wave of 1's in center
A2. 4,4 Balance R and L, slide/spin R
    4,4 Balance L and R, slide/spin L
B1. 16  1's turn contra corners
B2. 4,12  1's balance, swing

This chestnut is danced to the tune of the same title. The first wave is formed
by the 1's taking R hands with their partner and L hands with a shadow. In the
second wave it is L to partner and R to a second shadow. While the active role
is as good as contra dancing gets, the extended inactivity for the 2's has
unfortunately made this dance less popular among modern contra dancers.
