Canadian Roots

by Sue McKinnell

8x32 Jig for 3C

Bars

1-8

1C dance a slow cast off 1 place and end facing 1^st corners with LH joined. 2C step up on bars 3-4. 1C set to 1^st corners turning toward each other on the second setting step to face partner's 1^st corner and set again.

9-16

1C dance out own sides and left around partner's 2^nd corner to dance in the ends to face 2^nd corners with LH joined. 1C set to 2^nd corners turning toward each other on the second setting step to face partner's 2^nd corner and set again.

17-24

1C dance a half reel of 4 with 2^nd corners, 1C passing partner's 2^nd corner RS to begin. 1C pass RS to face own 1^st corners and dance a half reel of 4 with 1^st corners. 1W end up between 3C and 1M end down between 2C – all facing CW.

25-28

All chase CW halfway.

29-32

1C turn RH to 2^nd place on own sides. (1C can do this turn however they prefer; in my class some did a 1 3/4 turn, some did a 3/4 turn, some turned 3/4 and pulled RS back to curl out to place, and some birled.)

Repeat.

Suggested music is The Three Creeks Shore from Aye Afloat.

July 1^st being Canada Day reminded me that I have Canadian roots (my paternal grandfather was born in Alberta and his parents ranched there).
