    This non-progressive, two-hand, 16-bar dance is danced in waltz hold around the
             perimeter of the dance floor.  (At some sites, the dance is danced free in the
             available space while others dance another fling rhythm pattern.)
    SET FORMATION The line of dance is anticlockwise.
    SET FORMATION Gents dance forward on the left foot and ladies initially dance on the right foot.
    SET FORMATION Bar counts (quantities of measures) for patterns are shown in bold.
    SET FORMATION This two hand dance is also danced as the final figure of the Kildownet Half Set.
    SET FORMATION Documentation is based upon a video workshop led by Pat Murphy.
