+===== Detailed Description =====
+=== Chorus ===
+//Summary:// The chorus is a clockwise solar system by the middles while the other dancers (#1, 2, 5, 6) clash or toss with the remaining dancers, rotating slightly counterclockwise to a new person every half bar.
+//Middles (#3/#4)://
+Dance once around the set clockwise, clashing on the downbeat of bars 1, 3, 5 and 7 with, in turn, #1/#6, #2/#5, #6/#1 and #5/#2, ending in the same place they started.
+//Outsides (#1, #2, #5, #6)://
+Bar 1:  #1 & #6 turn out to clash with middles as they start their "solar system" while #2 & #5 toss diagonally across the center, then rotate slightly left to face the next person around the 4-person circle.
+Bar 2:  Clash up & down the set (#1 with #5 and #2 with #6) forehand-backhand-forehand, then rotate left to the next person.
+Bar 3:  #2 & #5 (now facing out) clash with the middles as they pass while #1 & #6 toss diagonally across the center, then rotate left to the next person.
+Bar 4:  Clash across the set (#1 with #2 and #5 with #6) F-B-F, then rotate left to the next person.
+Repeat the pattern in bars 5-8.
