Suggested music is Strathglass House from Delaware Valley Spring Ball 2003 by Keith Smith and Muriel Johnstone.
I've written a few dances now with the figure in bars 9-16 and Mady Newfield suggested that I call it a French Scroll to give it a name and make it easier to brief. The name of the dance is a combination of the name of the figure and the name of the chosen tune.
