Dance Video A Canonbie Ceilidh (Video 1)
(No short description)
Various versions of this dance exist. This video, the final part of a longer demo, shows a 32-bar version, twice through; the men dancing the figure of 8 round the women the first time, the women dancing the figure the second time. After the arches all couples set. The music and the dancing are not precisely in sync.
