Charlie wrote and called this dance to end a NEFFA contra medley in 1995 going
from old to new, fitting as many of the recent "trends" (clichés) as he could
into one dance.  Fractional figures allow time for two swings!  In a medley
there's no walkthrough - they do each dance six times and then the next caller
takes over and calls the next dance.  It works, because people are on the ball
and because every move flows into the next, which is one of the hallmarks of
modern contras.
