-Turn of the Tide (Ron Coxall)   duple waltz time, C2 improper
+====== Turn of the Tide ======
+(Ron Coxall)   improper duple, waltz time\\
+Instructions suggest C2 improper (either should work fine), but I prefer C1 improper as more familiar to dancers. --- //[[nashjc]] 2019/04/14 19:57//\\

+Alternative final 8 bars (J Nash. To avoid too wide a dance.)
+<code>
+      Turning poussette: Men push a two steps (1 bar), man moves 90 degrees left,
+      (woman pivots on spot), woman moves 90 degrees left (man pivots).
+      (This is the progression, as positions now reversed). Men push two steps.
+      Couples turn two hands 1.5.
+      However, if behind the music, or subject to dizziness, just turn half.
