This is a fairly new dance, just written in June.  I've called it twice,
and people like it very much.  Callers ask me for it afterwards.

It has two quirks, which need to be explained at the beginning.  One is
that it is a reverse progression dance.  The ones progress up the hall,
the twos progress down.

The other is that when you and your partner progress out of the line,
during A2, you will naturally swing each other at the end of the line.
After you swing, while you are waiting to get back into the dance, the
lady needs to be on the gent's LEFT.
