I was looking at the Lambertville ECD video list and was curious about
"Savage Dance".

Anyway, I like the tune as played a good deal, and the figures are very
accessible (eg, bog standard) - quick transcript:

A1: 1s set twice (or perhaps set and rigadoon) to the other 1st corner;
those three circle left.
A2: 1s the same with the other second corner
B1: 1s down the middle and back and cast off
B2:  partners crossed arm allemande and allemande reverse.
The writeup, which doesn't give instructions, says "Francis Werner, 1784".
