An Alamo Ring is an eight person circle with alternate
dancers facing in (in this example, the men) and out (the women).

   Why "Alamo"?   No one seems to know, but it could
be inspired by the battle of the Alamo. After the gates
were breached the defenders were on the walls being
attacked from inside and out and had to face both directions.
