+===== Detailed Description =====
+==== Chorus ====
+This dance can be done with one stick or two sticks in parallel.
+bar 1: tap the ground to the left of your partner (G<sub>L</sub>), then the ground to the right of your partner (G<sub>R</sub>).
+bar 2: clash forehand 3x with your partner (P<sup>F</sup>-P<sup>F</sup>-P<sup>F</sup>).  (Red Herring clashes low; most sides in the Eastern US and Canada clash high)
+bar 3: clash backhand with the person diagonally to your right (R<sup>B</sup>), then forehand with the person diagonally to your left (L<sup>F</sup>)
+bar 4: clash backhand 3x with your partner (P<sup>B</sup>-P<sup>B</sup>-P<sup>B</sup>).
+Repeat.
+==== Figures ====
+In this dance (//only//), all figures start with a "hitch-back" (hop back onto right foot, but keeping weight forward).

+Rounds are "with sounds": on beat 2, all sticks point into the middle and dancers make the Star Trek: TOS sound that the doors of the USS Enterprise make when they open or shut.
+When dancers start dancing off, dancers take turns moving the stick to their shoulder as they leave the set; the first dancer lifts the stick on beat 9, the second on beat 10, and so on.
+Note that most sides in the Eastern US and Canada omit this figure and end with the chorus after Dragon's Bane.
