The choreography came to Steven early one morning as he lay in bed contemplating the moment that can be considered the calm before the ‘storm’ of the day. Ironically, a snowstorm started a few hours later. The dance was first tried by the brave souls who came out to that evening’s Inverarity party (the long-running dance party in the Nealleys’ home in Ardmore, Pennsylvania).

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.
