Description:<\/span>
\n    <\/span>1-8   All Four Ladies Star Right once around (right arms in with finger tips up and touching).
\n  <\/span>9-16   Partners turn by the left arm once and a half around until everyone can face their corner.
\n17-24   Corners DoSaDo (walk forward passing right shoulders, slide sideways back-to-back, then back up passing left shoulders to end facing each other where they began).
\n25-32   All Four Ladies Star Left once around to the same corner person.
\n33-40   Corners DoSaDo again.
\n41-48   \tSame corners Swing ending with the lady on the right side of the gent and facing counterclockwise around the square.
\n49-64   All four couples Promenade once around the set. (Promenade handhold is usually described as “shake right hands then join the left hands underneath”. Regional or simpler variations may be used.)<\/p>\n

Note:<\/span> Tonys original dance has a balance and Swing in place of the DoSaDo and Swing in counts 33-48. The balance can either be a 4-count balance and a 12-count Swing or a 8-count balance and a 8-count Swing. <\/p>\n

Choreography by:<\/span> Tony Parkes (Modified slightly by Calvin Campbell)
\nSource:<\/span> Dancing For Busy People<\/span>, page 121
\nUsage:<\/span> This dance contains much more action for the ladies than for the gents. This might be useful at a Father-Daughter dance or other situations where the energy or enthusiasm is unequal. <\/p>\n
