Attached is the plan for this week and next week. We will squeeze in Sleepy Maggie and Flowers of Edinburgh, as well as doing Argo Pond again. This time we'll also work on "regular" set-and-link in Earl of Northampton. My sister Kate suggests that having the 2-couple version firmly in mind makes doing the 3-couple version less mysterious. Let's hope!
According to my notes, if we do these things this week and next, we'll have done all of the ball dances at least once since April 11. Click for complete list of dance "cribs".
