Dance Notes

9-22    Ls always cross under arches made by Mn; couples going down go under
arches made by those going up. 
11-24  Use elbow grip when turning corners. 
29-32  A birl (left hands joined above right hand elbow grip) is more fun, and
all four couples can join in on the last repeat, but may be risky with
beginners.
