MISSISSIPPI  DIP
	© 2008    Larry E.Taylor
	Often a four-bar introduction of music is played.
	This non-progressive 32-bar two-hand dance may be danced anticlockwise around the
	perimeter of the dance area (the line of dance) or danced free — that is, be danced
	in the available space while others dance this or another polka rhythm dance.
	Couples dance in waltz hold throughout the dance; partners both face one another
	and face forward during portions of the dance.
	Gents begin forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot.
	Bar counts (quantities of measures) for patterns are shown in bold.
	Documentation is based upon a video workshop led by Pat Murphy.
