-Recording: {{ ::music:​longevity_070_bn14iw-04.mp3.zip |}}\\ +Teaching tipIt is important to stress that dancers maintain eye contact in the "Two Cousins"​ siding,  
-{{ ::​music:​longevity_-_jnc15.mp3.zip |}}+so that the direction of the circles will feel inevitable. 
 + 
 +NoteIn 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      ​
