32 bar strathspey for 3 couples devised by Stella Fogg

1-4 1^st couple turn with right hands and cast off one place.  (2^nd couple step

up on bars 3-4.)

5-8 1^st couple dance a half figure of 8, 1^st woman down between 3^rd couple and 1^st man up between 2^nd couple to finish in the opposite sideline between their corners.

9-12 All three couples advance for 1 step, retire for 1 step and cross giving right hands to partners.

13-16 All three couples repeat the advance and retire and, as 2^nd and 3^rd couples cross, 1^st couple turn with the right hand to finish shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the set, woman facing down, man facing up, ready to flow into:

17-22 Reels of 3 across the dance, woman with 3^rd couple, man with 2^nd couple. 1^st couple give right shoulders to 2^nd corners to begin and dance into the middle of the set at the end of bar 22.

23-24 1^st couple turn left hand to first corners ready to give Right Shoulders for:

25-28 1^st corner “Pass and Turn”. On bar 28, 1^st couple pass Right Shoulder to

finish facing 2^nd corners.

29-32 2^nd corner “Pass and Turn”. On bar 32, 1^st couple pass Right Shoulder as they dance to 2^nd place on own sides.

Repeat having passed a couple.

Note: “Pass and Turn”.

1^st couple dance round to the corner positions passing corners by the right, while the corners dance in on the 1^st bar of the figure, passing 1^st man or woman by the right, and turn each other with the right hand on the 2^nd bar. Corners dance out towards original corner positions on the 3^rd bar, again passing 1^st couple by the right (as they dance in), and curve round into place on the fourth bar.
