+Teaching tip: It is important to stress that dancers maintain eye contact in the "Two Cousins" siding,
+so that the direction of the circles will feel inevitable.
+Note: In Wil van den Berg's dance "Two Cousins" (published in Dutch Crossing, 1993), she calls this
+"one-quarter siding" and describes it as follows: "With partner start as in Cecil Sharp siding, curving
+in to finish right shoulder to right shoulder with partner.... Use four steps, close with right foot on
+the fifth and pause on the sixth."
+I wrote this dance for Lucy Weinstein when she celebrated the 21" anniversary
+of her 29'" birthday. The opening figure fits her style of dancing perfectly both
+graceful and flirtatious! Lucy is also an MD, so the title is both a birthday wish
+and a comment on her other life.
