Notes

You can use any 32-bar tune with a tempo and style to match what you want to achieve with the dance

If you start Proper then eventually you will have all the men dancing with men, and all the ladies dancing with ladies.

John says "I never feel satisifed after only Halfe a Hannikin, so I wrote this 32 bar version. Anyone know what a Hannikin is? Don Veino tells me that it is another name for a clown or fool. Any other information gratefully accepted!"
