[Callers] Swing Like Thunder

[John Sweeney via Callers]

Hi Deborah,
	The move for two couples is also known as a California Show Basket,
an Appalachian Big Set/Square dance move.

	I have the full Swing Like Thunder as:

First Couple out to the Right : Circle Up Four
Take Hands Across: Men take hands; Ladies take hands below 
Ladies Bow: Men raise arms over Ladies' heads and bring them down to waist
level
Men Bow: Ladies lift arms over Men's heads to their shoulders - or keep hold
behind the Man's backs
Swing Like Thunder (Basket); Drop Hands; Circle Left

Pick up each next couple and repeat with 6 and 8 dancers:
Men Take Hands: Men step in and hold hands in a Circle
Ladies Bow: Ladies duck under the Men's Arches and take hands
The rest as above
