“Common Schottische Balance“

This is the formation “balance in line,” adapted to strathspey tempo.

The formation takes 2 bars to execute and uses strathspey setting step (common schottische).

The hands move as follows:

1	Dancers with left hands joined drop left hands. All move to the right, joining left hands under right hands, then drop right hands. Dancers not on the ends of the line join right hands with the next dancer facing them on the right.
2	Repeat to the left by dropping right hands, moving to the left, and joining right hands under left hands.

From ‘The Renaissance Man’ devised by A Hankins

This is a variation on the formation “Corners pass and turn.”

This formation takes 4 bars to execute and uses 4 traveling steps.

1 – 2	1^st couple curve around to the corner position, passing their corner by the LEFT.
3	1^st couple continue to curve to the LEFT and dance in, again passing their corner by the LEFT.
4	1^st couple dance as specified in the individual dance.
	MEANWHILE
1	Corners dance towards one another, each passing one of the dancing couple by the LEFT.
2	Corners turn one another by the LEFT to face their own starting positions.
3	Corners dance out towards their starting positions, again passing dancing couple by the LEFT.
4	Corners curve round to the LEFT into place.
