6 couple square set. 5th couple facing lst couple, 6th couple facing 3rd couple

I was asked to devise a dance with a place being the theme.  So with my liking for plays on words I added to place gave me Plaice and I came up with the title.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (6). 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.
