Composed September 11, 2012
Choreographer's notes:
Often, when we pull across by the right hand, if we hold on too long, it
leadsto ladles turning over their right shoulder, which is bad for e.g.a right and left thru. But in this dance, it's good flow for the ladles to keep turning right into the neighbor swing.
Teaching notes:
* B2 needs to be zippy. After the star 3 places, we've come to original place.

(Notes by Chris Page)
[1] A mad robin is a sideways do-si-do, ladles starting in front of their neighbor.
[2] A no-hands circle left 1/4 in your groups of four. Essentially ladles cross the set while gentlespoons sidestep to their left along the side of the set.
[3] Here you look at your neighbor across the set, and gentlespoons start by going forward to their right, ladles behind to their left, gentlespoons passing in front of partner.
