Teaching tips: With only four steps for each meander, the motion is tight; the 1s have a brief 
S-shaped track to the bottom of the set. For groups whose dancers may need to make some 
accommodations, the two-hand turns may be done as a balance forw ard and back

Note: The meander is a star or hands-across figure but without hands. In the meander right, 
dancers have their right shoulders to the center, and in the meander left, left shoulders. 
Meanders should be somewhat more compact than a single-file circle.

This dance was written for Sally Lackman (but only she can tell you why).
