-Tune: Frank Palmer+Tune: Frank Palmer\\ 
 +Four-couple longways, 1s and 2s improper\\ 
 +Tune: Algorithms 
 +<​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. ​
