Promenade Hold

In Promenade hold the Couple Face in the same direction, side by side, and Take Both hands, left in left, right in right, with the right hands held at chest height Above the left hands.

As an aide-mémoire, in Scottish Country Dancing remember that Allemande, as a Figure, often follows Promenade; it is only possible to make the transition without letting either hand go when the right hands are Above the left.

For example, here are some Scottish Country Dances in which the term, Promenade hold, is used in either the Minicrib or the Maxicrib Dance instructions or both -

Autumn In Appin
Earl Of Mansfield
EH3 7AF
Fife Ness
Hunter's Moon
