Dance Notes
It seems that the deviser originally specified 6x32 bars for 2 couples in a 3 couple set rather than the standard 8x32 bars for the 2 couple in a 4 couple set format but either can be danced, usually depending upon the numbers on the floor or the time available.Keith Rose's Crib Diagrams
