Conclusions:
	The name of this dance is really the hardest part to figure out; well, that and maybe how you manage to side *and* turn single in 8 beats …
	Unfortunately, the instructions for the first verse don't help, as they don't mention any extra movements that would indicate that there's extra music in the A-strain for a turn.  There are pieces of music where the A-strain is 12 beats … but since we don't know what the music for this piece is, we can't tell what is supposed to be going on.
	Also, the lack of music may introduce an error in the chorus - do the couples have one or two "measures" to do their travelling?  Doesn't really matter - either they're moving fast or slow.  At least couples 2 and 3 get to do some resting while the chorus is going on.
	The symetry of the choruses is pretty cool - top, then bottom, bottom then top, then both.  Neatly done for such a simple dance.  Guess it was pretty easy to Tumble (or Fumble or Jumble or whatever-mble) poor Jone …
