Beverly Francis did a dance somewhat like this at Rochester 2016 Ball
to the traditional tune. However, I take responsibility or blame for 
mis-remembering the figures below. --- //[[nashjc]] 2016/10/01 17:40//

Duple minor proper

There's plenty of time for each figure, so use up the music.

<code>
A1 1-8 Rights and Lefts - 4 changes. Slow.
A2 1-8 Right hands across (star R), Left hands back. Use full 8 bars.
B1 1-4 C1 cross and go below, C2 step up (if possible elegantly), 
   5-8 C1 1/2 figure 8 up through C2 to get proper
B2 1-4 All back to back partner.
   5-8 All turn 2 hands
</code>



Two ABC versions of the tune are:
