 +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.
