Devised May 2008.

Dedicated to Judy Reynolds-Shaw and Roger Shaw of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who were the first to help me, along with my wife Sue, test the Celtic Cross progression.

The Celtic Cross Progression is described separately on page 27 of this publication.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). 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.
