+NOTES
+Part I, A1
+At the end of bar 4, the bottom two couples turn towards partners and face down to start
+the cast and lead in bar 5.
+Part I, B1 and B2
+As the 1st and 3rd couples (2nd and 4th couples in B2) meet, the couple in second place
+(third place in B2) must step back out of the way.
+Part III
+In this quiet dance, the last figure, in Part III, is known as "the burst"!
+A calm dance more about control and timing than anything else. Fairly simple and easy
+to learn, it provides dancers the opportunity to dance precisely to the music. T
+he signature is in the third part, where everyone leads away from the set, and
+returns just in time to start the circle. The timeless tune is known to folk music
+lovers everywhere.
