Author's Notes:
This was first danced on Friday, January 13, 1984, and it has become a tradition to dance it for good luck every Friday the 13th. The title means fear of the number 13. The four leaf clover figure in B1 is from southern mountain traditional square dancing. "Star through" is a modern club square dance figure.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
