Devised August 2019, Revised October 2019
This dance was inspired by the wonderful Set of Song Airs on A Dancer's Best Friend by the trio, Terpsichore. Since this set of airs is 6x32 bars, the dance was envisioned for a three-couple set. However the dance could be done as a standard two couple dance in a four-couple set.
As reported in issue 3460, when adopted by the RSCDS and published in Book 53 the RSCDS chose to describe it as for a four-couple set and also replaced the deviser’s original choice of music by a completely different set of tunes.
Both the original and RSCDS recordings are linked to the dance entry.
Note: The Rose Progression was devised by Rod Downey of New Zealand.
