Devised by Chris Ronald in November 2019 for Sue Biddle of Vancouver, Canada. This dance came about through an auction at the 2019 summer school of the Scottish Country Dance Teachers Association (Canada). Sue was the winning bidder. Hence the alternate title for the dance of ‘Biddle’s Best Bid’.
Bars 17–24. Tandem reels of 3: When dancing in tandem, experienced dancers may alternate the lead at top and bottom of set (dolphin style).
