'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
Although this dance really has nothing to do with quarks, I have noticed that the names of two of the six types of quark, “up”  and  “down”, appear frequently in the  instructions for dances while two others, “top” and “bottom”, are seen occasionally.  However the two most whimsically named quarks, “strange” and “charm”, are virtually never mentioned at all.  So the title of this dance is an attempt to rectify that omission!  Hopefully 1st couple will show each other some charm at least in bars 5-6 while bars 21-24 are probably a bit strange for everyone. 

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (3). 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.
