     This advanced-level circle dance has three parts.  The direc-
tion of travel is CCW.  The music has a 40-count introduction.

        Part 1: Begin with hands joined, right hand forward.

   1-2: Two steps forward with R-L, leaping off L to begin a two-step
        360-degree reverse (CCW) turn.
   3-4: Land on R (completing turn) and continue forward with L.  Join
        hands again, but with left hand forward instead of right.
   5-6: Two steps forward with R-L.
   7-8: Quick R-L-R-pause.
        Change back to original hand position (right hand forward).
  9-12: Mayim L (cross L in front of R, step to right with R, cross
        L behind R, and step to right with R).
 13-14: (Continuing to travel CCW) L-R.
 15-16: Quick L-R-L-pause.

 17-18: Sway to right (outwards) and to left (inwards).
 19-22: Traveling into circle, four counts of Mayim R (cross R in
        front of L, step to left with L, cross R behind L, and step
        to left with L).
 23-24: Swivel 90 degrees to left to face into circle, step forward
        on R and rock back onto L.  Swing arms forward and up on 23
        and bring them down on 24.
 25-26: 360-degree CW turn with R-L.
 27-28: (Facing center) rock right and rock left.

        Part 2: Facing center.

    1-2: Cross R in front of L and rock back onto L.
    3-8: Six counts of grapevine-right (step to right with R, cross
         L in front of R, step to right with R, cross L behind R,
         step to right with R, cross L in front of R).
   9-10: Step to right with R and stamp L without weight.
  11-12: Step to left with L and stamp R without weight.
  13-14: Fall right (tiny in-place leap onto R) and cross L in
