The dance commemorates a mistake Jenny made in the Unit 1 examination about rights and lefts for three couples. In quick time, this formation requires performance team skill to execute successfully — this strathspey version gives dancers more time to enjoy the pattern, and to get it right. Set & rotate was also on the exam, as was a question about William Marshall.
