May be danced in 3 or 4 couple sets. Cailín Rua (COLL-een ROO-ah) is Irish Gaelic for “red-haired girl” and the name of a song by Cucanandy, which Katherine listened to often around the time she had a flame-point Siamese cat named Fiona, her red-haired girl. The Giacolettis commissioned the tune (<<ddt:Katydid#14531>>) as a donation to Pinewoods Camp, and the title is a childhood nickname Katherine’s mother often used for her.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). 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.
