Dance Video Iona Cross (Video 1)
(No short description)
At New Scotland Country Dance Society's Summer Dance 2011
At the end the outside couples dance a 3/4 chase. This is a common variant in social dancing; it should be 3/4 Hands Round, much more difficult. The clapping and extra twirls are not "official".
