This dance appears in the RPLDW syllabus from 1990, transcribed from the
previously-taped calling of Ralph Page. It's a triple minor (1s)
improper contra. The notes are pretty minimal:
"Allemande left 1-1/2
To next below for a dosido
Circle 6 to the left once around
Star left below
Swing the one above
Right and left four (over and back)"
Since it's a triple minor and we need to get the 1s into the middle
somehow, the obvious place for that to happen is during that initial
allemande 1-1/2. And instructions in this period usually talked to the
1s, which makes most of the rest of the dance pretty self-driving.
Anyone know whether that final over-and-back is with the 2s above or the
3s below? If it's with the 2s above, then the propriety is right for
the courtesy turns.
If you've danced this, or have it in your files, could you confirm or
correct my guesses?
Many thanks,
Kalia in Sebastopol
