'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
The Celtic Reels in this dance are based on those in Barry Skelton’s dance ‘The Celtic Reel’ from his ‘Celtic Book’. The structure of the dance in bars 9 - 24 is based on Ron Wallace’s dance ‘Trip to Paradise’ which contains a ‘Corners Targe’ here converted into a ‘Corner’s Celtic Reel’.

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.
