 +NOTES\\
 +B1, B2\\
 +Try to make smooth transitions from the partner gypsy to the neighbor gypsy, continuing through to the partner turn.\\
 +This dance and lovely tune were written by Eric Leber, and published in the Pinewoods Fund Dance Collection, 36 dances assembled by Fried Herman and sold to help in the purchase of Pinewoods Camp. Fried later re-published the dance in Ease and Elegance, making a few small changes in the A section to create a smoother choreography.\\
