'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
For my son, who loves building, and keeps building all over the place, at anytime with whatever is available (legos, kaplas, paper and adhesive tape, snow, sand, sticks, stones etc.). For example, we once had a cable car all made with paper and adhesive tape dividing half of our living room in two parts, when he was six.  
Sometimes, he puts things together in a different way, you would say it’s not going to work, but in the end, it does work. This inspired me for the formation “modified crown triangles”.

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.
