Begin Again......

Dance should be done in Contra Lines using windows (do not stand directly
in front of the dancer facing you).  When doing steps 17-24 hold up your
right hand and place it against the right hand of the dancer to your right.
(On the mirror half of the dance it will be the left hand during counts 57-64).

This dance can also be done using two (2) circles.  If you have a group big
enough you can make 2 circles rather than lines.  If you are doing this you will 
do only the first 39 counts of the dance as written and then change the 40th 
count to a touch rather than a step.  Then start over on count 1.  Doing the 
dance this way will allow the dancers to change "partners" around the circle.
