 +Brooke Friendly and Chris Sackett 2006\\
 +Longways for Three Couples\\
 +Tune: Pear Blossom
 +<​code>​
 +A1 1-6 L file led by #1, go across the lop and down behind the R-file so line is inverted,
 +       pass individually below this person back to own side
 +   7-8 R-hand turn halfway (2s are with partner, others are not)
 +A2 1-6 Others (now on L-file), led by #1, go across the top and down behind the R-file so
 +       line is inverted, pass individually below this person (your partner) back to L-file
 +   7-2 Partners R-hand turn halfway (set is inverted and proper)
 +Bl 1-2 2s, with couple on left, L-hands across halfway so 2s outside the ends of the set
 +   3-6 2s pass L-shoulder up and down the middle and go between the other end couple
 +       to outside of that end and turn over R-shoulder into...
 +       while Ends fall back and R-shoulder turn single coming forward into...
 +   7-8 R-hands across halfway (end where began B1)
 +B2 1-4 Bottoms (original 1s) R hand turn once round while
 +       1st diagonals chevron (pass R-shoulder on diagonal, back up neighbors’ place)
 +       while 2nd diagonals wait 2 bars and cast right into neighbors place 
 +   5-6 Partners R-shoulder back to back

 +Teaching Points:\\
 +Al and A2: See diagram on page 56.\\
 +BI 1-2 and 7-8: Each hands across for three is really halfway for the 1s and 3s but a bit more for the 2s on the 1* one and a bit less on the 2" one. 2s need to make a big arc coming out of the R-hands across to end in 2" place on their own side. We generally teach the 1s and 3s their part (as hand turns) and then have the 2s join in.\\
 +The pear tree that has about seven varieties grafted onto one rootstock. It was blossoming
 +when we wrote this dance.
