Notes

Bouncy music is suggested to make the heel & toes and gallops work well

Make sure the sets start well away from the stage so that they can gallop up

Heel & toe: hop on the other foot while tapping the heel & the toe

Zig-zag poussette: pousette ½ (cw) with 2s; pousette ½ (ccw) with 3s; pousette ½ (cw) with 4s (2s, 3s and 4s should move bacwards abd forwards all the time, staying level with each other)

John says "I learnt Wee Willie at a barn dance, but it didn't seem to flow very well when I tried it at my dances, so I changed the order of the moves and changed the arming into slip circles. I think this has a much better flow."
