This dance was written for a class to illustrate the differences in phrasing when dancing the same figures in strathspey and reel time. It is an astonishingly difficult dance in parts, given the simple figures from which it is constructed. It may be danced as a three-couple set dance, or with five couples and regular double progression, or contra-style.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (5). 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.
