Okay, the Callers Box site didn't like 'circulate' in the middle of a line
of text.

Yeah, it's pretty close.
Side-note: Callers Box doesn't seem to like "circulate", which is why I
asked here.
I've been looking for solid Box Circulate dances that aren't the same 3 or
4, and are a tad easier so I can swap 'em in, or put them in a medley.
This one's similar enough to a couple Rory dances as well.
Any other close dances / matches?
In dance,
