Notes
Notes
1
You can use any 32-bar tune with a tempo and style to match what you want to achieve with the dance
2
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!"
