Rights And Lefts For 3 Couples
In
Rights and lefts for 3 couples, as in
Right and lefts, the 3
Couples Cross By the right to start, taking 2 bars. Next the dancers in
1st and
2nd Man's Places and also those in
2nd and
3rd Ladies' Places Cross up and down on the sides By the left While those in
1st Lady's and
3rd Man's Places Exchange places by
Crossing Diagonally By the left, also taking 2 bars. These 4 bars are repeated twice more until all Scottish Country Dancers are back in their
Starting Positions.
Diagram 34 shows the whole Figure as, for example, in bars 9-20 of Johnnie's Welcome Hame.
Phrasing needs care; Crossing By the left Diagonally takes nearly three times as long as each Crossing Up and down on the Sides and so must be danced with much longer steps.
For example, here are some Scottish Country Dances in which the term,
Rights and lefts for 3 couples, is used in either the MiniCrib or the MaxiCrib
