Notes
Notes
1
John says "I wanted a dance for teaching casts, so made it easier by having everyone facing the right way each time. I call the move where one couple casts and leads while the other couple follows 'Loop the Loop' so I can just call, 'Ones, lead Loop the Loop'."

John uses the track 'Saint Catherines' from 'A Neal Ball' by The Assembly Players
