Notes
Notes
1
Optional: repeat A1/A2/B1/B2 after B6 and before the coda
2
The kernel of the idea came to Tom at Cincinatti's Pigtown Fling Contra dance weekend and was inspired by Fried de Metz Herman's dance Yola's Invitation
3
The dance can be done to any 32 waltz but Douglas Russ by Beth Murray is preferred
4
Listen to a recording of Douglas Ruff by Earl Gaddis and Karen Axelrod
