No it isn't, Iain.
I've checked the dances for the upcoming End of Summer
dance in Sebring, Florida. Reel of the 51st is the
last dance on Saturday night. Instructions for all
the dances came with the sign-up sheet, and these say
that on 13-14 All balance in line. If anyone suggests
we change this, I'll be sure to explain why we should
not.
Now my biggest problem is remembering how to do The
Link in Gang the Same Gate.
