Author's Notes:
Dancing Tips: Because the entry into the hey for lady 1 is awkward, try a hand cast instead of a waist hold cast after returning from down-the-center.
Background: For the first two years I called dances in Seattle, I worked with Leah Weiss and Carol Rubinstein. When Leah decided to return to her home in New England, I dedicated this dance to these two musicians.

This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
