Back in 1994, Ted Sannella used a very similar version of this 5 couple
square at Mainewoods Dance camp. The A parts differed slightly but the
progression in the B part is the same. Ted told us he picked up the dance
in Denmark from a Danish caller, Inga Morton. Ted simply called it "A
Danish Dance" and had 2 versions of it. It provides a great change of
pace used occasionally.

Correction:
M1 faces 4 on his right and W1 faces the 4 on her left
should read
M1
faces
4 on his "Left" and W1 faces the 4 on her
"Right"
