Just a wee dance

by Alan Paterson

3 couple Reel for a 4-couple set

I'm unsure if it's really worth recording this for posterity and giving it a name (it may even exist already). However, it was a training exercise and seemed to be fun to dance, so this is me writing it down so that I won't forget it.

Bars
1 - 8 1st couple crosses giving right hands, casts off 1 place (as 2s step up) and dance 1/2 figure-of-eight round 2nd couple.
9 - 16 All 3 couples set, dance back-to-back, and set.
17 - 24 1st couple crosses giving left hands, casts up 1 place (as 2s step down) and dance 1/2 figure-of-eight round 2nd couple. 2s step in and all finish ready for...
25 - 32 1st and 2nd couple change places with a poussette.
Repeat having passed a couple.
