Dance Notes
Although this is a 4 couple dance, it could be danced in a 3 couple set with just the first couple dancing down the middle, and the first and second couples dancing the reel. First couple would cast to third place and a new first couple would start the next time through.(Dance notes by the deviser, Sue Petyt)
