 +====== Larkin Grace ======

 +Chris Sackett and Brooke Friendly 2005\\
 +Square for Four Couples\\
 +Tune: Larkin Grace
 +<​code>​
 +A 1-2   ​Heads:​ opposites advance setting to change places by L-shoulder (end facing out)
 +  3-4   ​Heads:​ turn individually Over R shoulder into 2-hand turn halfway with opposite
 +       (end in middle of square, in front of home place)
 +  5-8   Heads circle 4-hands to left three quarters, and (on bar 8) pass original opposite
 +        by R shoulder to face sides in two parallel lines of 4
 +  9-16  L shoulder heys for 4 in each line into...
 +B 1-4   Heads R hands across once round in middle while side dancers (as individuals)
 +        orbit the set CCW halfway round
 +  5-8   ​Heads,​ with nearest sides, L-hands across once round
 +  9-12  Those foursome begin a broken circle to right: the 2nd diagonal of the side couple  ​
 +        leads the foursome from a small circle into a big circle three quarters around so all
 +        couples have progressed one place CCW from original place (ending with side
 +        couples in head couple positions)
 +  13-16 Partners L-hand turn once round  ​
 +Repeat the dance from new positions (original sides active in head positions)</​code>​

 +Music: O Son do ar by Bieito Romero\\
 +Teaching points: \\
 +A bar 9-16 the parallel lines for the heys are across the middle of the set.\\
 +A bar 16 for heads: last pass of hey by R-shoulder is almost a half gypsy with original opposite
 +to get into the R-hands across.\\
 +B bars 1-4: for sides orbiting the set the 2 diagonal is in front of partner.\\
 +B bars 9-12: the open circle of 4 (hands joined except for the leader) quickly unwinds into the
 +broken circle of 8; it should look and feel like a real circle even though not all hands are joined.\\
 +Originally written for Larkin Sackett as a Scottish strathspey and published in
 +first volume of dances, it works equally well as a waltz.
