The dance has a delightful beginning, led with an emphatic pulse. After the opening leads down and up, the dance assumes a longways formation. It may take dancers a few rounds to become accustomed to the extended B phrase, but it will be rewarded with the fun of ending the round with new couples and launching right into the next round!
