Well Don, you know you shouldn't be smoking that stuff....... ))) Sugar Hill is next weekend. We should be able to wrangle up enough dancers to give this a decent walk-thru. This looks like a great dance to tryout at 4:00 in the morning. :::wink::: If I have this right you are weaving the line, but faced like you are a crab.
This is one of those I think a demo set would be the most expedient teach the A2. Get 8 dancers walked through it before the dance starts or at the break. If I have this right you are weaving the line of 4 facing up & down the hall, faced like you are a crab. Looks like it might be fun!
