+NOTES:
+Part I, B1, 2 1-4
+The "balance back" is small, so that the balance forward brings dancers close enough to join hands.
+Part II B1, 2
+Many choose a skipping step for the casts.
+Another fairly straightforward U-S-A dance (up a double, siding, and arming). This bouncy, lively tune offers many opportunities for skipping.
