This dance revises the infamous candidate dance <<ddd:Frog in the Middle>>. I find the tune fantastic and the dance, well, lacking. The frogs on the mantle belong to Alfred and Eleanor Hurd, whose home has hosted many social dances, and classes and who use frogs to mark the sets. This dance is written for them, and for our candidate class tutors, Geoffrey Selling and Jill Emery.
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.
