Dance Video Mrs Stuart Linnell (Video 4)

RSCDS Edinburgh Dancing Forth 2010
Three times in two back to back sets as the first part of a longer demonstration, starting with a dance on. Dem quality dancing, but in the 1st and 3rd repeats the 4 couples in each set (in the centre) are doing a 2 couple variation of the dance.
