Description

A note should be added to the effect that bars 1-8 of the video do not coincide with the crib or the diagrams.

First couple use bar four of the turn to ‘twirl’ in back to back with partner.

However, both the crib and the diagram clearly instruct dancers to perform a full turn and finish facing partner before casting!

Unfortunately, I do not have the original instructions to be able to confirm this.

Likewise, first couple add a ‘twirl’ at the end of the left hand turn during bars 15-16 and a ‘twirl’ to the end of the the first ‘corner pass and turn’ that are not given in the cribs and diagram.

This is a pity since the video has apparently been performed to demonstrate the dance!

I think “do not coincide” is a little harsh! On looking again I agree the 1st couple are turning away slightly early, during bar 4 rather than from bar 5, but with that small caveat it looks pretty good to me. I did add a note mentioning the extra twirls later on.

I do not have the original instructions - but when unsuccessfully seeing if they were available on the web anywhere I came across another video which I hope you will approve of: more faithful, but perhaps not as graceful.
