+ | <code> | ||
+ | A1 1-4 End couples long cast to middle place and face original end | ||
+ | (1s facing up, 4s facing down) while middle couples meet and lead out to end places. | ||
+ | 5-6 Active couples (original ends, now in middle place) wheel around halfway to face | ||
+ | middle of set (men moving backwards). | ||
+ | 7-8 Active couples (in the middle) circle four to the left halfway. | ||
+ | Order is now: 2-4-1-3, 1s and 2s improper, 3s and 4s proper. | ||
+ | A2 1-8 Repeat from new positions. Order is now: 4-3-2-1, top too couples proper, | ||
+ | bottom two couples improper. | ||
+ | B1 1-4 Men go right shoulder around partner. (This is not a gypsy; women should stand still.) | ||
+ | 5-8 End men, followed by neighbor, skip clockwise halfway around women's line to end in | ||
+ | original home place but crossed over. Dancers are with their shadow at this point, | ||
+ | not their partner. | ||
+ | 9-10 In halves of the set, star right halfway. | ||
+ | 11-12 Middle couples star left halfway. Men are in their progressed places but women are not. | ||
+ | B2 1-4 Women go left shoulder around opposite (men should stand still). | ||
+ | 5-8 Middle w omen, followed by neighbor, skip counterclockwise halfway around men' s | ||
+ | line to end opposite partner in progressed place. (Middle w omen start by dancing | ||
+ | behind their partner and around the line.) | ||
+ | 9-12 Partners left-hand turn once around. | ||
+ | Progression: 2-4-1-3.</code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Teaching hps: The progression is tricky because everyone arrives independently. Reassure dancers | ||
+ | that this is not a mixer; partners will be reunited soon. The stars happen quickly and women must be | ||
+ | prepared for them. | ||

+ | Nancy De Vore commissioned this dance as a surprise for her husband Al Blank | ||
+ | ('a mathematician), on the occasion of his 80th birthday. | ||
