| + | There are many videos for this dance on the Lambertsville ECD video list, | ||
| + | but this one shows how precise set alignment avoids jerky and frantic | ||
| + | dancing. This dance is one of the OED favourites. Hard to believe it | ||
| + | is over 300 years old now. | ||

| + | Note: As in the video, I prefer, as a couple 2, to avoid the "cross, face | ||
| + | and cast" in part B2. Rather I prefer to cross and keep going, curving up | ||
| + | in a wide cast into place. The instructions do not require one to face and cast, | ||
| + | which incurs a rather dizzying twirl. --- //[[nashjc]] 2019/04/14 17:05// | ||
