 +Tune “Sophia” Musicalischey
 +Tugendtspiegel by Erasmus Widmann, 1631.
 +
 +NOTES:\\
 +Al 3-6 It helps to have dancers think of this as all one flowing unit, not three
 +separate moves. The same is true in A2 3-6. \\
 +B2 1-4 Where all the movements in B1 are in 4 bars, the two changes here are 2
 +bars for each change, and should flow smoothly into the circle.\\
 +The dance and music have a formal regal feeling.\\
 +This dance is for Robin Hayden, who bas helped create a thriving dance
 +community in the Amberst/​Northampton area.
