formation: improper

Before starting, introduce dancers to their current neighbor, next neighbor and previous neighbor.
At the ends, you should loop around and pay attention when you're out. Cross over immediately and be ready to gyre your next neighbor by the left, then pass your partner to gyre your previous neighbor.

There are a couple of dances called Green River. With the gyre hey on the side, I thought this dance had a more bluesy feel, but still flows like a river.
