+NOTES\\
+The challenge here is simply that, in six times through, nothing is exactly
+the same twice in a row.\\
+A peppy, challenging dance, requiring crisp, precise movements with energy
+and drive (but also control). When that is accomplished, you have a
+rewarding dance that will leave everyone smiling.\\
+Tune “Branle de Bourgogne” by T. Arbeau.
