+====== Countercurrents ======

+===== Detailed Description =====
+This dance was initially written and attempted in 2017.  The original dance used a tune with 8-bar phrases, and the triangles went through two of the three processions, with dancers ending each figure in a different position from where they started.  This proved too challenging, so the dance was rewritten in 2022, and additional bars were added to the tune to accommodate the need for 12-bar phrases.
+=== Chorus ===
+//Summary:// The chorus is the figure "Solar System":

+=== Dance Sequence ===
+Dancers start from the audience in their separate triangles.  They dance on to the first six bars of the 1½-length (12-bar) tune, with the first triangle dancing //counterclockwise// and the second triangle dancing //clockwise//.  The last 6 bars (12 beats) of the tune are a standard grand right & left figure.
