====== WATERS OF HOLLAND ======
3 couples, C2 improper\\
Devised by Pat Shaw in 1989\\
Recording: {{ ::music:waters_of_holland-073-bnecd-02.mp3.zip |}}\\
I found no really satisfactory videos of this dance, which can be
challenging because it is progressive, and demands that one be able
to count to 1 AND a half. Failing to turn either half or 1.5 messes
up the whole set.

<code>
 A  All up a double and back, repeat
 B1 Diagonal changes
    1 and 2 on M side, 2 and 3 on W side, set and change places
    All turn new partner 1.5 times (Make sure it is 1 and a HALF,
    or dance fails)
 B2 repeat B1
 A  siding
 B1 and B2
 A  arming
 B1 and B2
</code>

 At end of each B1 and B2 pair, each person has moved 2 places 
 counter-clockwise round the set (hence 1 gender position).
 Repeat dance twice more (music from Bare Necessities has 6 rounds, or twice
 through the complete dance)
