Music: December Hornpipe by Jonathan Jensen, 2009

Teaching Points:

A phrase: The figure 8 is tidy (without big loops and the same person crossing first both times).

The dancing couple does not end home from the figure 8 at the end of bar 4 they finish the

last loop during bar 5, meeting while the other couple balances away to face neighbor.

The up or down part of the back-to-back begins on bar 6. 4.B2 bars 3-4: The turn single should

begin in toward center and end just outside the set line so you don't rush into the 2-hand turn

and finish it too soon.
