+  A1 1-8  Crossover mirror-image hey (1st woman and 3rd man
+          pass left shoulders to start;
+st man and 3rd woman pass right shoulders to
+          start). 1st couples end improper at the top.
+  A2 1-8  1st couple crossing again, mirror hey on own side.
+          All end in original place.
+  B1 1-4  1st couple half figure eight down through 2nd
+          couple.
+-8  Partners two-hand turn.
+  B2 1-4  3rd couple half figure eight up through 2nd couple.
+-8  Partners two-hand turn.
+  C1 1-4  Taking hands in a ring, all step-swing right and
+          left, twice.
+-8  Men facing woman on their right, three changes of a
+          grand right and left.
+  C2 1-8  Repeat C1 from these places. End in original place,
+st and 3rd couples improper.
+  D1 1-8  1st couple cross by left shoulder, go below (2nd
+          couple moving up), dance half figure eight up
+          through 2nd couple.
+  D2 1-4  Starting with partner, bottom two couples (original
+st and 3rd, both improper), four quick changes of
+          a circular hey (no hands).
+-6  Same two couples pass partner by right shoulders,
+          then -
+-8  1st couple continue down the outside to bottom
+          place, as 3rd couple lead up center to 2nd place.</code>
+A rambunctious, exciting dance in three parts, full of energy and movement. Given enough space, dancers will sail through the A music, making large loops in the heys and figure eights. The C music is a complete change of pace, sounding (and feeling) more like a Russian folk dance! The finale resumes the quick pace, finishing with a nifty set of changes to progress and propel everyone into the next round from new places. A real workout, especially for the first couple in each round.
