'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
This dance was originally called Twirlaholics - but someone who very much liked dance, but who very much did not like the original name, persuaded the deviser to change it to Torque Back.

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.
