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.
