===== Detailed Description =====

This dance was written circa 2000 by Jeff Bigler for MOTley Morris.

==== Chorus ====

Beat 1: #1 & #4 clash high while #2 and #3 dib
Beat 2: #1 & #4 clash low while #2 and #3 toss
Beat 3: #1 & #4 clash high while #2 and #3 dib
Beat 4: #1 & #4 clash low while #2 and #3 toss
Beats 5-8: dance through the set, all four dancers passing their corner by the right shoulder with an all-in clash as they pass on the "and" after beat 5.  The dancers have now changed places with their corners.

Repeat the chorus, this time with #1 & #4 dibbing and tossing, and #2 and #3 clashing high-low.  At the end of the chorus, the dancers are back in their original positions.
