Notes
Notes
1
Start in a line of four, facing down, with the ones between the twos.
2
In Pass The Ocean, the men cross the set, orbiting slightly to their left, while the ladies do a ¼ left hand turn in the center of the set to make a wavy line by taking right hand with their neighbor. In this dance, unusually, there is no balance the wave after Pass The Ocean.
3
In the symmetrical do-si-do the twos each do an extra flip at the end to face down.

Inspired by Valerie's Trip to Portland by Erik Weberg. Written on 12 Feb 2005.
