[Everyone dances alternately with Ptr and one other person.)
MUSIC: “Pat’s Rag” by Jonathan Jensen. Jonathan says that he
composed this tune with Pat Shaw’s style of ragtime in mind,
hence the name.

Teaching Points:\\ <code>
(1) A1 moves the men two places to the R around the set and
    A2 moves the women two places to the L.
(2) In B1, emphasize that there are no courtesy turns in this
sequence. Also, warn everyone that the pass throughs
come quickly, There really is not enough time to leisurely
turn around, </code>
