Inspired by Fairport Harbor by Paul Balliet, with a slight twist to include a delightfully smooth transition in the A1. When teaching the dance, make sure gentlespoons know to stand and face along the set, rather than expecting a neighbor swing after getting dropped off. Once dancers get the flow of things, that revolving door to promenade transition is simply divine.
