+This dance has a nice flow if the dancers can get the circles and hand
+change to line up with the music. The turn and go round neighbour/partner
+is very natural and simple once the pattern is understood, but the instructions at
+first may seem confusing.  It may help to slow the music a few
+percent to avoid the movements being rushed, but the dance is nonetheless
+quite lively.  --- //[[nashjc]] 2016/12/05 14:15//
