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.

|
| 8 | ones half figure 8 down between

Luke calls out that the figure 8 in either the A1 or the B1 can alternate up vs down. In the A1 it's simple to call out ones vs twos, but in the B1 it's slightly more challenging to alternate dancers.
