+===== Detailed Description =====
+This dance was written in 2015 as a tribute to Vonnie Carts-Powell.  The tune, //Julian of Norwich,// was one of her favorite songs.
+=== Chorus ===
+{{:dances:border:julian-chorus.png?nolink&300}}
+First triangle (dancers 1, 4, 5):
+  * bar 1: clash self (on downbeat)
+  * bar 2: clash right stick with each other (on downbeat) and hold left stick for clash from a dancer in the 2nd triangle
+  * bar 3: clash self (on downbeat)
+  * bar 4: class left stick with each other (on downbeat) and hold right stick to receive clash (from behind) from a dancer in the 2nd triangle.
+  * bars 5-8: turn (single) 360° over right shoulder, dance through next open triangle position, loop around (over left shoulder) and back in, ending up corner-crossed from your original position.
+Second triangle (dancers 2, 3, 6):
+  * bar 1: clash self (on downbeat) and turn approximately 90° over right shoulder
+  * bar 2: clash left stick with the first triangle dancer who started on your right as you pass the dancer heading out from the set
+  * bar 3: clash self as you loop around over your right shoulder behind the dancer you just clashed with
+  * bar 4: clash left stick again with the same dancer (approaching from behind) to end up on the opposite side of that dancer
+  * bars 5-8: twirl twice over right shoulder, advancing one additional place around the circle, ending up corner-crossed from your original position.
+After 8 bars, all dancers are corner crossed.  Dancers who started in positions 1, 4, and 5 are now in positions 2, 3, and 6 (i.e., are now second triangles), and dancers who started in positions 2, 3, and 6 are now in positions 1, 4, and 5 (i.e., are now first triangles).  Repeat chorus, with all dancers ending up back in their original places.
