Something didn't seem right in the directions as cited-- I don't call the dance
with a balance in A2-- so I went back and checked. When the dance was published
in Ted Sannella's "Swing the Next," Ted had this to say:
"Originally there was a balance before the swing in A2. I found the transition
from the allemande directlyu into the swing to be more pleasing, and mentioned
this to Steve. He tried it without the balance, liked it and declared that to be
the 'official' version.... It's one of my favorites."
Steve wrote the dance shortly after Ralph Page died in February of 1985.
