GAY  GORDONS
	© 2008    Larry E.Taylor
	This two hand dance is from Scottish tradition.
	This non-progressive sixteen-bar dance is to begin with dancers facing in a
	room-encircling ring with gents on the inside; partners take sweetheart hold;
	begin holding right hands at the lady's right shoulder and left hands in front;
	when changing directions in the line of dance, however, the hand positions are
	to be reversed.
	At some sites, however, couples dance-free in the available space while others
	dance another march pattern.
	The line of dance is anticlockwise around the perimeter of the dance area.
	The step is a march (walk, walk, walk, walk) except when housing (down-2-3)
	during the final four bars.
	Other versions are danced.
	Gents step forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot.
	Bar counts (quantities of measures) for patterns are shown in bold.
	Documentation is based upon a video workshop led by Pat Murphy.
