For Ken and Cathleen Miller, wonderful dancers in the Soquel Class.

In the "advanced" version, 2c+3c dance two successive half reels3 across.  In the first half reels, 2M & 3W will be the "lead dancers" (the first to pass the incoming 1C dancer).  In the second half reel, 2W & 3M wil be the lead dancers.  That phrasing differs from that of a full reel3, where the same dancer leads in both halves. The path danced remains normal, but during bars 3-6 2M+3W must slow down, and 2W+3M speed up, to pass their partners correctly in the middle on bar 7.  

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
