Music:
Any suitable 32-bar tune. I use Big Bandemonium's Flying Tent.

Notes:
The Little Back Door (AKA Back Door Key and various other names) is an Appalchian Big Set/Kentucky Running Set figure. The leader dances around two people, while the follower slips through the middle, only going around one person, and takes the lead.

I liked Bill Baritompa's Cut to the Chase but it confused some people so I tried to make some of the transitions a little easier.
