This dance has been created for the BJC Perth 2005. I have posted it so
any of you unicyclists can practise it for the ceilidh on the Friday
night.
You have two sections. The beginning is repeated at the end like a eight
some reel. The numbers are beat counts.
You form a set of three couples. Gents facing ladies.
