This dance was written Aug 11, 1999, on the way to a gig at the Rock
Gardens Inn in Phippsburg, ME. It originally started with a Men's HALF
allemand. I figured the dancers would get more partner swing that way.
In real life however it seemed confusing and the allemand once and a half
goes pretty quickly anyway so there is plenty of swing. The B1 B2 figures
are the "reason" for the dance. I like how a chain flows into a star so
I figured mirror image chains and stars would flow doubly well. Since most
dancers are used to coming out of a chain into a cloverleaf star, it takes
a little while for them to adjust to the hands across but it flows really
nicely after they do. For my "other band", PB&J!
