 +===== Detailed Description =====
 +
 +==== Chorus ====
 +
 +The first part of the chorus is done in "triangles".  The "first triangle" is dancers #1, #4 and #5.  The "second triangle" is dancers #2, #3, and #6.
 +
 +Beats 1-2:  On beat 1, first triangles toss in a triangle.  #1 tosses to #5, #5 tosses to #4, and #4 tosses to #1.  Second triangles reach behind themselves and clash with the ground on beat 1.
 +Beats 3-4:  First triangles clash behind themselves on the ground (beat 3) while second triangles clash with each other in a "basket" (also beat 3)
 +Beats 5-6: same as beats 1-2.
 +Beats 7-8: same as beats 3-4.
 +Beats 9-10: First triangles pass through the center with a clash on beat 9, ending up one place clockwise around the triangle.  I.e., #1 ends up in #4's place, #4 ends up in #5's place, and #5 ends up in #1's place.
 +Beats 11-12: Second corners pass through the center with a clash on beat 11, ending up one place clockwise around the triangle.  I.e., #2 ends up in #6's place, #6 ends up in #3's place, and #3 ends up in #2's place.
 +Beats 13-16: everyone spins twice over their "teflon" ("non-stick" or left) shoulder to advance one place clockwise around the circle.
 +
 +At this point, everyone has done the equivalent of a corner crossing.
 +
 +Repeat the chorus, noting that the old first triangles are now second triangles, and the old second triangles are now first triangles.
 +
 +At the end of the repeat, the dancers are back in their original places.
