Don ...no a paul Jones mixer is two circles one inside the other men & women facing each other ...music starts...
everyone circles opposite directions to a quick step........when the music stops who ever your facing is your partner & then you dance a minute or two to a nice foxtrot.....then its repeated again & again....


In these parts the so called Whistle dance is a really a "SNOW BALL" mixer....
2 people start dancing to a slow foxtrot and every time the music stops they have to go into the audience and pick new partners ...eventually it snowballs into a bigger & bigger crowd until the floor is packed.
