Devised August 2019, Revised October 2019 This dance was inspired by the wonderful set of Song Airs on A Dancer’s Best Friend by the trio, Terpsichore. Since this set of airs is 6x32 bars, the dance was envisioned for a three-couple set. However the dance could be done as a standard two couple dance in a four-couple set. Note: The Rose Progression was devised by Rod Downey of New Zealand.
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.
