Corrections – 1st and last 8 bars

Jean Shaw’s full instructions give the first 8 bars as “All Circle 8H around to the left (only)” and the final 8 bars as “All Circle 8H around to the right (only)”, rather than the “All Circle 8H around and back” in both places in these MiniCribs. See “29 Dances devised by Jean Shaw (North Wales)” [see “Overview” information for this dance.]
