Comments by Anne Taylor (formerly Grant) from the leaflet describing the dance:
I devised Broadford Bay in 1990 and it appears in the Skye Collection Vol 1 and was adopted by the RSCDS in the Leaflet Dances in 2001. Despite the popularity of the dance, the Chase and Turn movement (Bars 17–24) still appears to pose problems with many dancers.
I have devised Moonen Bay to try to clarify the Chase and Turn movement (Bars 9–16). I have often suggested that Broadford Bay could be taught firstly in Strathspey time which may help the dancers to understand the movement. Good Luck!
