In essence, this dance is a nod to the region where I grew up, the Black Forest. It‘s famous for its „Cuckoo Clocks“, and the „Tick Tock“ figure reflects the movement of the hands of the clock; the clock then has to be wound up to make it go round again...

Music Suggestion:
Oh Whistle and I'll come tae ye, my lad (Muriel Johnstone's Scottish Dance Band)  
Alternatives:
Bonnie Dundee (Sandy Legget), Two and two (Ron Kerr)
