The deviser writes that “all the ‘twirls’ in the dance are piglet tails. Some people have since added ‘tails’ for the first couple as they wait on the sides during the chain (as in Hooper’s Jig). This adds to the enjoyment.”

The dance is inscribed “for Dagmar who, with her husband Hermann, runs a pig farm.”
