**Juice of Bar**

A modification of this traditional dance helps to avoid the inevitable "hurry up" at the end.
In fact, the traditional dance is almost undanceable (well) except by young, fit professionals. To
keep the spirit and feel while making it comfortable, in B1 and B2, simply circle HALF. To 
give guidance for the crossing half figure 8 moves, I suggest that the TOP person leads. This
is man 1 and woman 2.  --- //[[nashjc]] 2015/02/13 21:09//
