Author's Notes:
The first part of this dance is based on Tony Parkes' dance "Festival Square."
A very strange thing happens with the progression in this dance. Do A - E as above with the head couples active. Then start the pattern at phrase A with the sides active. At the end of phrase C everyone will get their partner back for the swing. At that point you may promenade home. Because of the unusual progression do the pattern as H-S-S-H.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
