Something didn't seem right in the directions as cited-- I don't call the dance with a balance in A2-- so I went back and checked. When the dance was published in Ted Sannella's "Swing the Next," Ted had this to say:
"Originally there was a balance before the swing in A2. I found the transition from the allemande directlyu into the swing to be more pleasing, and mentioned this to Steve. He tried it without the balance, liked it and declared that to be the 'official' version.... It's one of my favorites." Steve wrote the dance shortly after Ralph Page died in February of 1985. David
