Pamela’s Strathspey 3X32 Strathspey. Devised by Isla Henderson in honour of Pamela Galloway with an original tune composed by Ian Lees. Dance published in Ewan Galloway’s dance collection “In Honour of Volume 3”.
The instructions for bars 1-8 have “lead down” but here the team are “dancing” down with nearer hands joined. The corners are here turning with both hands in bars 17-24. The instructions do not specify but the RSCDS manual default in that case would be right hands.
