One original copy of the instructions carries the following handwritten note by Betty Grant:
A Ring of Friendship
The idea behind this dance is the ring of dancers around the world who start to dance in a small group, then intermingle with the neighbouring groups, and giving hands across borders, continents and seas move on in a never-ending Ring of Friendship.
Best wishes,
Betty Grant
