Three times through in a 3 couple set with 1st couple slipping to the bottom each time. The half reels in bars 9-12 and 21-24 should be left shoulder but are here danced right shoulder both times. This means 1st couple dance round 1st corner position twice in a row instead of just for the first half diagonal reel. They are having fun, but its not a good example to follow.
