'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
In the videoed demos, the couples start side by side facing in the line of the dance, swing open on bar 1 and face out, move on and face P on bar 2, then step close step.  Bars 9-10 are waltz round once.  All this differs from the Collins description.  It could be that Collins describes a SCD version that differs from the ballroom version.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (?). 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.
