Roy and Janet are well-beloved members of the community. I first met Janet at teacher training in St. Catherine’s Ontario in 1986; she and Roy have brightened my dancing life ever since. This dance was written at the request of their children and presented at the April 2017 Scottish Country Dance party in Mountain View.
The dance begins with a knot to commemorate the start of their marriage and continues with diamond imagery to celebrate the 60 years since the knot was tied. The poussette at the end is the most romantic figure in Scottish Country Dance.
