Chris's notes:
"Written at the A-1 Diner in Gardiner, ME October 24th, 2008. Called for the first time that same evening at the North Whitefield contra dance. I was looking for a good dance to go either before the break or at the end of the evening. The dance is simple enough for the dancers and lets the band rock with an energetic tune set. Plus it ends with a partner swing without any changes from the caller. Call it in duple improper formation starting with the A2 for a more standard experience."

Another one of Rick Mohr's unusual formations. I've modified the timing from his notes a little based on my experiences dancing the dance. To see the original - and Rick's comments on the history of the dance and how to teach it - check his site: http://rickmohr.net/Contra/Dances.asp#SunsetLimited
