Dance Video The Gallant Weaver (Video 1)
Tay Dancers, 2019.
In bars 25-28 the original instructions say "1st woman passes 3rd man left shoulder and 2nd man and woman right shoulder. 1st man passes 2nd woman left shoulder and 3rd woman and man right shoulder". Here 1st couple pass all three corner people right shoulder. This looks quite natural but seems not to have been the deviser's intention.
