Notes:
Best done with a Double Step (1-2-3-hop) throughout.
I liked the Four Winds move from Pat Shaw's Four Winds, but that dance is long and complex; I realised that I had very little chance of using it successfully with any of the groups I work with regularly. So I wrote this simple dance to use the Four Winds move.
The first part of B2 was originally: #2s Face Down - take two hands with #3s, draw them up to progressed places, Turn Single out. I still like that version, but find it easier to use the version above with most groups.
I'd love to hear from you if you try this dance.
