Windmill Crossing

by Sue McKinnell

8x32 Jig for 3C

Bars

1-8

1C set and cast off 1 place as 2C step up. 1C turn LH once round to end 1M facing own side with 1W right behind him.

9-12

Half tandem diagonal reel of 3 with 2^nd corners, 1C passing 3M LS to begin, changing leads on the end and ending 1W facing 2M with 1M right behind her..

13-20

Full tandem diagonal reel of 3 with 1^st corners, 1C passing 2M LS to begin, changing leads on the ends and ending 1W facing 3M in 2W's position with 1M right behind her.

21-24

Half tandem diagonal reel of 3 with 2^nd corners, 1C passing 3M RS to begin, changing leads on the end and ending in 2^nd place 1M facing out.

25-32

2C and 1C dance RH across. 1C and 3C dance LH across.

Repeat.

Suggested music is The Bruce That Was from Full Circle by Ian Robertson and Muriel Johnstone.

Note that the figure in bars 13-20 is a reel across the phrase and can be thought of a half LS reel and a half RS reel, so the reels are L, L, R, R.

The figures on this dance remind me of a stitch in bobbin lace named a windmill crossing.
