Acknowledgement: This dance was inspired by the unusual alternating reel structure of the dance 'London's Burning' by Sue Petyt and is merely a variation on that dance. The continuous motion of the dance made me think of gear wheels and 'London's Turning' is an attempt to develop that concept.
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.
