Заметки
This is a demonstration dance written by Hugh Foss for 3 couples arranged in a triangular shape. According to the instructions
the women stand about six yards from each other, at the comers of a triangle. The men stand about a yard inside the triangle. All face partners.
Hugh Foss describes three different sets (of elementary, intermediate and advanced level). Every set comprises six figures of 32 bars each.
In addition Hugh Foss describes 57 varieties and other possible setting for demonstrations.
Since the publication contains so many variations with different figures for different levels of dancers, it is not very sensible to try to add all of these to the database entry of the dance.
