Dance Video Bridge of Athlone (Video 1)

(No short description)
This is German folk dancing, using walking steps. The figures are exactly the same as for the SCD dance of this name, except that the final birl has become a BH turn R and L. Until there is an SCD video, this one can be used to show the dance.
