Dance Notes
9-16 Uncompleted reel: middle dancers (1L 2M) don't pass by the left the second time; end dancers (1M 2L) do pass by the left twice but don't pass by the right to finish.
-16 2s finish in 1st place; 1s finish in 2nd place on own sides.
19-24 Although the official definition requires the dancing couple to travel clockwise on bars 20 and 22 in these crown triangles, it is much more comfortable to travel on the first (right foot) beat of bars 21 and 23.
25-30 6 bar reels of 3.
