Dance Information
The dance is dedicated to Patricia Houghton and was devised by Janneke Mitschker and Tobias Hünger on 5 August 2010. We enjoyed Summer School Week 1 + 2 in St Andrews. Tobias has been taught by Pat in Unit 2 + 3 and to say "Thank You", there was the idea to devise a dance. Janneke suggested the last 8 bars to have all steps in quick time to have as many transitions as possible.I suggested the Ladies' Chain to have the opportunity to waggle with the kilt that has often been commented by Pat (to avoid it in Unit 2 exam dances) - in this case, waggle as much as you can to start the Ladies' Chain - and not at the end due to the transition to the next figure.
