both fine but different styles

NOTES\\
B1 1-6\\
Each dancer, upon reaching an end of the hey, loops left and passes left shoulder when re-entering the hey.\\

A delightful dance that keeps moving. The real pleasure in the dance is the choreography of A2 through B1, beginning with the back-to-back on the diagonal into the two-hand turn into a single line down the middle. The following hey goes so well with the music change in B1, and the gypsy to get back into lines is such fun! 

A happy dance to happy music.
