'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
The RSCDS description (presumably by the deviser) notes: "Written for the 'South Pacific Fling' dancers from Canada to dance while in New Zealand and Australia" - thereby setting the stage for the idea that the society pursued in books 36 & 37.
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.
