I wasn't able to find anything like it online (Googling "Ribbon Dance" comes up with traditional Chinese Ribbon dances or rhythmic gymnastics -- it is not anything like either of these)
If anyone knows of another name for our Ribbon dance or a title for our music, please let me know!

holding ribbon between them.
Couples in each group of
four should face each other, boy to boy and girl to girl.
Designate couple as #1 and #2.
**Ribbon should be
approximately 1.5 to 2 metres long.
Counts Pattern
Part I
16 “Over
and Under”
Couple #1 forms ribbon-arch, under
which #2 passes with 4 steps. Both
couples face about without releasing ribbons and reverse figure, so that #1

twice.***
