 +Teaching point:\\ In A, bars 4 and 8 there is a moment at end of orbit/back to back where the turn 
 +single becomes a half gypsy with your neighbor on side (bar 4) or partner across (bar 8). Timing ​
 +and being aware of those around you is critical. \\
 +In mid January 2008 we had a snowstorm that dropped twelve inches of snow in Ashland (the 
 +biggest accumulation since the 1960s). Southern Oregon University, where we both work, was 
 +closed—oh,​ darn. We stayed home and wrote this dance.
