|
 |
Often an eight-bar introduction of music is played. |
| |
This 32-bar two-hand dance may be danced anticlockwise
around the perimeter of the |
| |
dance
area (the line of dance) or danced free
— that is, be danced in the available |
| |
space
while others dance this or another jig rhythm dance. |
| |
The dance is often danced in a lively ceili-style
(dancing much on the front of the feet, |
| |
lifting the lower leg behind, bouncing instead of gliding, more rigid upper body, etc.) |
| |
Gents begin 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. |
