I'm posting a new dance of mine - the hook is a

wavy line of gents in the center. Haven't seen it before, and I'm
wondering if anyone knows of other dances with this figure. Also, I
looked for other dances called the Portland Reel and couldn't find any,
but if that name has been used let me know.
Other feedback welcome:

This looks good on paper. Have you road-tested it? That note at the
bottom does look like the place where the pattern could be vulnerable,
since getting folks to take their time and not arrive early can be tricky.
