Have any of you ever called this dance by Mike Boerschig? It's been in my box 
for years, and I've never called it because I haven't been sure about who 
should go to which star. It was published one way in Midwest Folklore (see 
below), but the two YouTube videos I've seen of it have a shorter partner 
allemande, ending with the first woman and second man (i.e., second corners) 
starring above, while the second woman and the first man (first corners) star 
below. 

If you've called this and have an opinion about how it's best danced, or if 
you've found it challenging to teach, I'd love to hear what you have to say 
about it!
