Author's Notes:
This dance started out as a variation of Jubilation by Gene Hubert in which the partner allemande is replaced by a swing and the gentlespoons start the hey. This gives the same swing / 1/2 hey / swing sequence as in Diagonal Discovery, also by Gene Hubert. The dance is further modified by replacing the gentlespoons allemande left 1+1/2 and long lines with circle left 3/4 and right and left through, which moves the middle of the dance to the opposite side of the set.

Encourage spatially-aware traveling eye contact between dancers and their partners throughout the B1 up to the partner swing.
For a simpler dance, replace the single-file movement with a slide left along the set and a circle left 4 places, ending with the partners meltdown swing in the B2.

Andrea Nettleton told me she wished callers would do more down the halls, but all the options in my box were pretty basic and I wanted something that used it as less of an "away we go" and more of a buildup.
