Notes
1
This dance is more difficult than it appears on the surface. The dancers will need to be reminded that the swing in A1 ends in the middle of the phrase.

John Meechan, a UK caller, names lots of his dances after the hotels he stays in, or what he sees from his hotel bedroom window, when he is traveling. Having spent a lot of time staying in Studio Plus serviced accommodation when working in the USA, I thought I would follow his example. Written on 22 Apr 2003.
