Oozing charm from every pore, he oiled his way around the floor. --- My Fair Lady

This is an abbreviated USA dance: Up a Double; Siding; Arming.
Usually there is some kind of refrain separating these 3 parts, but in this dance
there is no refrain and the parts follow on one another.
Also USA dances are usually 3 couple sets, but this dance is LW dm improper and
progressive! (LW: Longways dm: duple minor)
Moreover, in traditional USA dances, the siding and arming are done by partners
rather than alternating with a neighbor. More information at [email protected].
