The notes say this is an "appropriately flirtatious dance, composed February 1997 to honor Mikkel Thompson on reaching his half century."

An early SCDDB comment suggested that *the demonstrations by the Alamo dem team show that there is an error in the original instructions for bars [33-34]: 1c meets with Rsh, not Lsh as stated, and then joins RH.* However current versions of the instructions  just mention joining RH.

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.
