Music:
32 bars. Bouncy music to make the Heel & Toes and Gallops work well.

Notes:
Make sure the sets start well away from the stage so that they can gallop up.

Heel & Toe: hop on the other foot while doing the Heel & Toe.

Zig-Zag Poussette: Half an AC Poussette with #2s; Half a CW Poussette with #3s; Half an AC Poussette with #4s, only five or so steps for each Half Poussette. #2s, #3s and #4s should move all the time, staying level with each other.

I learnt Wee Willie at a barn dance, but it didn't seem to flow very well when I tried it at my dances, so I changed the order of the moves and changed the arming into slip circles. I think this has a much better flow.
