The high point of the evening was a collaboration between the four dances (all men), nine band members, and myself composing this dance. Thanks for encouragement and helpful comments go go the Resselaer English Country Dancers, Gene Murrow's dance choreography class at Pinewoods (August 2000), Beverly Francis and Jonathan Sivier. In the B part the first couple may enjoy imagining they're taking a winding sleigh ride down a long hill.
