Devised in December 2008.
The figure on bars 9 to 16 first appeared – as far as I know – in The Peat Fire Flame in The Bon Accord Book, by John Drewry (1968). It can be quite a flirty figure, so I sometimes call it ―set and flirt‖. The whole dance is quite flirty, actually, as 1st couple can maintain eye contact almost throughout. Central Park seemed a fitting name for such a dance - one often sees young couples in Central Park having wedding photos taken.
Music Any good jig. A suitable recording is ‘Jean‘s Jig’, on the Silver Thistle Collection, David Cunningham and his Scottish Dance Band, track 1.
