Заметки
This dance is too involved to be placed on a Ball programme; it is essentially a demonstration dance. However MiniCrib has now provided a crib for it.
The dance has five figures:
Fig. 1: 64 bars
Fig. 2: 32 bars
Fig. 3: 32 bars
Fig. 4: 16 bars
Fig. 5: 32 bars
This dance was collected by Mrs MacNab but from a Mr Graham Forbes of Hamilton, Ontario who was taught it by his Grandfather in Scotland.
