It is worth mentioning that when I first started to dance in 1993 Merilee's
dance was common in GA and FL. I had no idea who Merilee was, or where she
lived.

My wife mentioned that she got dizzy in the original, when doing the
swinging star (to the right) followed by the left hand star. I always
thought that switching direction would lessen the dizziness, but hey, what
do I know? I love that swinging star move, so for her I wrote a slightly
different version that continued the star to the right - right into the
neighbor swing.
Glad you like it!
