Hi All,  I wrote this dance for a performance related to the Commonwealth Games which fell through, so I’ll share it here in case anyone is interested in giving it a try.  

The Flame From Delhi   
Square set 4x32R  

1-8         Grand chain all round (1 bar per hand)                   
9-10       Turn ¾ RH to bring women into the middle          
11-12     Women dance LH across half way while men dance one place clockwise  
13-14     Turn ½ RH to bring men into the middle  
15-16     Men dance LH across half way while women dance one place clockwise.  Men finish back to back in the middle facing partner, one place ACW around set.  
17-20     Highland setting  
21-24     Tulloch turn RH, opening out into  
25-28     Circle round to the left  
29-32     All dance into the middle, pull back right shoulders, dance out and chase round to complete the circle. *  
Finish in the order 2, 3, 4, 1 ready to start again

* This mimics the Delhi Commonwealth Games logo

If you want symbolism:  
[1-8] Passing the torch around the world  
[9-16] Coming together  
[17-20] Individual performances, or sizing up the opposition  
[21-24] The combat  
[25-28] All together for the closing ceremony  
[29-32] Dispersing and heading back home
