Notes
Notes
1
Alan says "Intended as an easy teaching dance, inspired by a c1802 dance where the 1s do sequential figure eights through the bottom couple. Turns out that with the right tunes, it's good fun, and makes a decent opener.
2
Any good jig or reel can be used but Alan recommends 'Blue Jig' or that medlied with 'Megajig'.
