Dance Video Cayuga Reel (Video 1)

(No short description)
Cayuga Lake is a beautiful ``finger'' lake in upstate New York. This was danced for the first time here in 1993 in Tawa. Nowadays I would have had less repetition in the dance, but it is still a reasonable entry in the Cane Toad Collection. This is resurrected from an ancient VHS tape and converted to mp4 by John Patterson. The quality of the recording had deteriorated a wee bit.
