This dance was inspired by a trip taken by several American dancers to Australia in April 2015.
The first 8 bars represent us circling the airport parking area repeatedly to pick up a late arrival.
The second figure represents the "hands up" figure our Sydney instructor used.
The final figure (and variations of it) was the signature of Robert Templeton, from Tasmania, who introduced us to several of his dances.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
