Other Circular SetsScottish Country Dancing Other circular sets. The Sixteensome Reel and the Thirtytwosome Reel are similar to 4-Couple Square set dances with two and four Couples, respectively, at the Top and Bottom and on each Side. A few examples exist of Circular sets with many Couples, all in one large circle; there is often Progression round The set, Ladies going clockwise, Men anticlockwise, to meet a new Partner for the next Repeat. Some of these dances, for example, The Fairy Ring, can be performed with concentric circles if space is at a premium. A few Circular sets are for Partner groups which are threesomes or a single dancer rather than Couples: The Craven Twelvesome has the format of the 4-Couple Square set but with threesomes, a Man between two Ladies, at the Top and Bottom and on each Side of the Square set; Domino Five has five individual dancers arranged in the 5-Couple Square set format.
