Author's Notes:
Written for the wedding of Janet Peters and Robert Mills in New Jersey.
Make sure the allemande in B2 doesn't turn into anything else (such as a courtesy turn or a twirl). There just isn't time for anything else.
There is time for the good dancers to end the star promonade with a butterfly whirl , but it is more important to start the hey on time.
Editor's Notes:
Collected from Larry Edelman October, 1990.
