The Cure for the Claps Improper, 8/19/03
A1. 4,4,8 Balance, Petronella, partner swing
A2. 4,4,8 Balance, Petronella, neighbor swing - face down
B1. 8,8 Down hall in line/4 - turn alone, up hall and bend line
B2. 8,4,4 Circle L, balance, California twirl
When this first started circlulating, it was often called The Cure for the Clap, but
that's a whole different story. This is a rarity among modern contras - no
fractions.
