NOTES
Jig	This phrase should be danced as though along a beam, 
	mostly on the balls of the feet.
Hand movements - After the first four walls:
1-2 	Men	Extend left arms fully out to left, right arms over head, 
		pointing to left, fingers closed
	Ladies: Extend both arms fully out to left,
		at chest height, fingers closed.
9-10	Reverse of 1-2
17-20	With elbows close to body, point forearms and hands
	in direction of applejacks (Left, Right, Left, Right)
	Rotate neck (not body) to face same direction.
Music - The recommended music is track 2 from the CD single of "Lord of 
the Dance". Alternatively use track 1 from the full CD, but start the 
dance halfway through when the full orchestra starts up. Alternatively 
use the "bonus " track 16, but this has the taps on it.
