Dance Notes

A particular feature of this dance occurs at the start of the third repetition.

As the new 1st couple casts off, the previous 1st couple moves down to fourth place, while the 2nd and 4th couples step up to adjust their positions in the set.

Dance Information

Created by the late Francis Walduck in 2015, this dance was devised for Gregor and Sheila Wills, who share a passion for cycling.
