This dance was devised for Stephen’s good friend Robert Bateson to celebrate his 70th birthday on 9 January 2004 as a thank you to him for many years of friendship. The dance includes figures particularly liked by Robert.

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.
