Not challenging, but can reward experienced dancers by being almost no-walk-through.  To nail the
transition, first corner people need to either start the turn single right foot or bring feet
together in order to free the right foot).

In grateful recognition of Linda Leslie's investments of time in the folk dance comunity and in
particular her consultation and mentoring given me as I hone my dance calling and composition.
