Stroangassel 3/4L · R32

Note: in this dance, whenever two persons from different couples come face to face with each other, they dance part or all of a “tandem back-to-back” movement; for this both hands are joined as for a quick-time poussette, but skip-change step must be used, not pas-de-basque.
