Dance Video Gorgeous Gordons (Video 1)
SCD group Hong Kong, 2022
Nicely danced (with a few hesitations) though with a couple of variations from the original instructions. In bars 5-8 the dancers here do two left hands across (at each end) rather than one in the middle. And in the final mirror set and links, the central two couples dance through the middle rather than casting to the ends. The first variation works well but the second looks slightly more awkward than was intended.
