Description

What is the difference between the Hands Round and Hands Round and Back?

I noticed that Da Rain Dancin’ uses

Set to Corners and Partner (C-SCP) Hands round - 6 (HR;6P;)

That seems to be consistent with the formation choice in the Birks of Invermay. However, similar formation in Reel of Royal Scots uses

Hands round - 6 - and back (HR;6P;BACK;)

Would appreciate the clarification.

Of course it is “Hands round - 6 - and back”, both in “Da Rain Dancin’” and in “The Birks of Invermay”. For clarity I prefer “Circle and back”.

“Hands round” is one way only, normally in 4 bars.

Crib corrected. Formation corrected, also in “the Birks of Invermay”. Issue Fixed. Eric
