Record: LS 207-45

The Tuffields have gotten into the habit of teaching three of their
waltzes as a medley. It makes a beautiful exhibition. To dance
"Jerry's Medley," simply dance each of these dances through once
in the following order: "Lovers' Waltz," "Honeymoon," and then
"Happy Waltz." At the end of each single sequence twirl and
maneuver into position for the next dance. The music will tell you
what to do. Here are the instructions for "Honeymoon Waltz."

Position: Closed, man's back to COH.

Footwork: Opposite throughout, directions for man.

Introduction: 4 meas. Wait two meas and acknowledge.
