1W & 2W, 1M & 2M change places RH. 1W & 3W, 1M & 3M change places left hand. 1W & 4W, 1M & 4M change places RH. 1C turn LH once round. |
Repeat 4 times. |
Suggested music is a lively jig or reel. I find the dances on The Macadians Play Burns Night in the Annapolis Valley has several tracks that work well. |
This dance is one of four that were written for a teaching session at the Chicago Highland Games. Since the people who participate in this are usually totally unfamiliar with Scottish Country Dancing, I needed simple dances with easy figures and an easy progression. |
