  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are audio and on screen instructions and a bar counter. The dancers wear numbered coloured tabards so that the learner can follow a particular dancer through the dance.

  The Ochil Scottish Country Dancers videoed this dance in August 2015 at Cambusbarron Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

comment:
  This is not so much a single dance as a recipe for producing thousands of millions of different dances in a highly prescriptive format of figures within the Celtic Brooch set, an unusual form of circular set for three couples; all the Ls perform the same movements at the same time and all the Mn similarly. Every 32-bar sequence contains the distinctive figure, The Theme, danced by the Ls in bars 1-12 and by the Mn in bars 17-28; while The Theme is being danced (by those whom the deviser, Hugh Foss, calls the "outsiders"), their partners (the "insiders") dance three complementary 4-bar figures (or, occasionally, one 12-bar figure) of which the deviser identifies 57 (and invites others to devise more). A Celtic Brooch dance is any six of these different 32-bar sequences in succession and so an immense variety of combinations is possible. Hugh Foss identifies three groups of six sequences as detailed in the separate dance instructions:
  The Celtic Brooch (Elementary), The Celtic Brooch (Intermediate) and The Celtic Brooch (Advanced). He codifies and lists the 57 complementary figures. 

  Note that this video is of a display consisting of only four sequences, codes 10Ax3, 43A, 21C and 30A+40A+30A followed by a choreographed exit.

  Part of a compilation.  Starts at 2:20, goes to the end. Not the whole set is in view. Gives an idea of the dance but not suitable for instruction.

  Alas not available embedded.

comment:
  Generally good dancing in an apparently chilly class. The instructions say that after their second time, on bars 65-66, 1st couple should pass 4th couple right shoulder (as if all are starting a reel of four) to get to 4th place, but here they mostly step down.

comment:
  Danced twice through in 3-couple sets, as final part of a longer display.  The closer (bottom) set dances "Widdershins", the further (top) set dances it in mirror image, i.e. clockwise.  In the old parlance, that direction is called "Deosil", and so the title the dem team uses for the dance is Deosil/Widdershins"

  Twice through.  On bars 1-8 of the first time through, 2c makes wrong crossings in the reel across.  After 1st time through, a new couple starts at the top, and the old 1c dances a reel across with the old 4c.

  Slightly adapted for a 3 couple set with the former 1st couple turning down to 3rd place as a new 1st couple starts.
  Also the corners here start bars 9 and 17 by casting whereas the instructions are to simply dance up/down the sides - as pointed out by the deviser in <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/1995/|issue 1995>>.

  The Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers demonstrate "Loving Loraine," a 32 bar Strathspey for 3 couples in a set dance.

  Terry Garner (Milwaukee Affiliate Group and the Madison (WI) Branch) devised this dance, and Rebecca Winnie taught it, as a surprise gift  to his wife, Loraine Garner, for a milestone birthday during the Milwaukee SCD class in November.  They are the 1st Couple in the set. “Loving” (in the title) is used as both a verb and an adjective.

  The music is "The Silver Thistle Ball” by Mara Shea & Dave Wiesler on the Heather Hills recording. Terry selected it because it is a beautiful tune with leads by both piano (Loraine's favorite) &
  fiddle (Terry's favorite).

  Twice in a 2 couple set. This is a round the room dance so they add an extra loop at the end of the 1st repeat in order to be able to dance it again. The 2nd repeat ends as expected.

  The band comprises the various musicians that play for classes through the year.

  Generally good dancing with a few variations: extra twirls before the final reels, half circle instead of half right hands across.

  Generally a good and clear demonstration of the dance. Though here couples set facing in on bars 1-4 and 5-8 rather than facing their partners as in the instructions.

  There is a separate demonstration of the Rose Rondel figure at https://youtu.be/3ygdLjkhmxQ

  Choreographically correct though the challenge in this dance is phrasing and covering the slow 4 bar turns in strathspey time.

  Published on Nov 21, 2016
  'Snow Flurries' was on the programme for the Johnsonville SCD Club's final night for 2016.

  This strathspey was devised by Charlotte Williams (née Dunn) for the Lower Hutt SCD Club's 60th Anniversary. Snow is very rare in Wellington and the Hutt Valley, and the dance title refers to a time in 2011 when the district experienced just a few magical days of snowfall.

comment:
  The first half of each time through is fugal (really a canon, but everyone calls it a fugue) in which 2nd lady does exactly what her partner does, just two bars later. Patti Cobb was bandleader and arranged three tunes to be canons so the women dance to the recorder and the men dance to the fiddles.  Jim Oakden is on recorder and the fiddlers are Shira Kammen and Caroline McCaskey (the 2019 US Scottish Fiddle champion).  The jig tunes are Sailor's Wife, A Hundred Pipers, and Lady Elizabeth Cole.

comment:
  Cranberry Tart danced by members of the New World Dancers. This is part of a dance medley that also includes Lake Geneva and Second Salute to Miss Milligan. Taken from a performance at the Dixon Highland Games, CA in September, 2011. A rare opportunity to watch Greg Reznick dancing with the New World Dancers, the dance troupe he helped to form. 

  Please note: Despite the fact that the dance was recorded during a demonstration performed by good dancers, the video had to be down-rated to 'reasonable' for technical reasons. Due to the view-point it is hardly possible to use the video to understand the choreography of the dance from the video (but this is also required to get ratings 'good' or 'demonstration quality').

  One missed cast into the reels on the last repeat and a few hesitations and false starts here and there but otherwise no choreographic errors.

  The progression in this dance ends with everyone moved round one place. The two dancers starting in 2nd place each time have similar coloured shirts.

  The Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers demonstrate "Change Your Shoes Faster," a 32 bar Jig for three couples in a four couple set - on 12 January 2025. It is danced two times through to show inexperienced dancers the flow of the dance.

  The music is "The Guidman of Balangigh” by David Cunningham and His Scottish Dance Band.

comment:
  Those wearing bands are dancing the men's role. Fairly clear in the part of the set nearer the camera (but there is a shoelace problem later on in the further half of the set). Here danced as a medley of reel and jig.

  Contrary to the final credit on the video, the Fiddle Solo is being played by Jimmy Ritchie, not Jimmy Shand. The two tunes are Jimmy Shand Junior (reel) and Jimmy Shand MBE (jig) both composed by Jimmie Ritchie.

  This video would be “demonstration quality” if it used the official music for the dance. The producers of the video can't be blamed for this because when this video was recorded the official music for the dance hadn't been picked.

  The deviser is dancing as the first 1st woman.

comment:
  Danced once in a single set, then three times more in three sets (the furthest one centred between the nearer two).

  Although described as a Reel in the instructions the deviser confirmed that it should be a Jig. It is here being danced to the 3x32 Jigs track from The Macadians Dancing Master CD.

  Twice through as part of a longer demonstration. The ending of this round the room dance has been slightly adapted for a longwise set and for the transition into the next dance.

comment:
  Viewed from the bottom of the set. Generally clear, with a few hesitations. Though in bars 33-38 1st & 4th men & women here omit the half turn at the end, before the final setting, so the progression is 2,1,4,3 rather than 2,4,1,3.

  Twice through demo. Beautifully danced, though the instructions request the final poussette be done symmetrically on the centre line as in the dance New Park whereas here it looks, from the camera angle, as if it is being done in the usual diagonal style.

comment:
  This short video shows a simple Scottish country dance from RSCDS Book 40, "Nice to See You". This dance is done "round the room" in lines of three facing each other (as in the dance, Dashing White Sergeant). After each repetition of the dance, the lines progress to meet the next line of three towards them. In the ballroom, there would be lots of lines of three all the way round the room. Here we only have 9 dancers involved, just to give the idea.

  This video is of the earlier 3C/4L version of this dance. Bars 1-8 and 17-24 are unchanged but in bars 9-16 the order of setting and moving is exchanged and bars 25-32 are completely different.

  Buttermilk Falls is a beautiful series of waterfalls in Ithaca. I seem to remember the elements of the dance were inspired by the shapes in the water. This was danced in Tawa in 1993, here for the first time. It does have elements I would no longer put in dances. Resurrected from VHS by John Patterson. Music by Peter Elmes.

comment:
  Based on a low-resolution video by Sabine Meier-Ude – this was transferred from WhatsApp on Sabine's mobile to WhatsApp on Marie's mobile to Telegram and then to my PC for editing, which was a slow process even so; I shudder to think how long it would have taken at full resolution! I replaced the original sound from the video (except for the applause at the end) with the recording I played during the dance, in order to get rid of my very loud prompting over the music. The recording is the audio track from the YouTube video Malcolm cites in the dance instructions – note how between the three parts of the dance there are “breaks” of two bars in what the pipe band plays, which the dancers cover by setting. The dancers deserve credit for doing this with very little practice; this is the second time we did the dance at the workshop and the first time was quite a bit more chaotic! More notes on the video are <<https://www.anselms.net/blog/the-making-of-the-highland-cathedral-video.html|here>>.

  An exuberant performance of a dance with unusual phrasing inspired by music from Pirates of the Caribbean. The dancing starts around 1:30 into the video after a little introductory pirate drama. The deviser and his wife start as 1st couple (though there are substitutions of couples each repeat during the performance).

  - first 16bars danced as written in 1 set
  - schiehallion reels have additional people passing through the centre in promanade hold with the men (ladies dancing schiehallion reels as normal)
  - at the end of the schiehallion reels, set splits into 2 sets, and the rest of the dance is done as written, but in 2 sets

  The dancers here follow the original RSCDS Book 18 version and "lead" down or up in bars 17-20 and 25-28 (rather than "dance" as in the revised edition).

  Three times through.

  The instructions refer to the outer dancers as 1-3 and 4-6 on the sides and the central dancers as D1 and D2. Here all the dancers are wearing domino style numbers from 1 to 8 which get increasingly progressed. 1 and 2 start in the middle with 3-8 around them.

comment:
  This clip is part of a longer medley. It shows the first 80 bars of the dance with a couple of changes. For the rondels in bars 17-24 the instructions say the outer couples should make the arches, but here the inner couples do. Also in bars 45-48 the promenading couples loop round clockwise rather than anticlockwise. Then, from about 19:52, the last 16 bars (hands across & casting then circle) are replaced with other choreography to link into the next dance in the demonstration.

  The final cross by 1st couple should be right hand (it is done once left hand here).

  Cornelius McLean Sterling won a tune to be written by Elke Baker and dance to be written by Sue McKinnell at the 2024 Midwest Scottish Weekend (MSW) silent auction. Cornelius decided to dedicate it to Tim Wilson because of the profound impact Tim’s teaching and gracious care for dancers had on him at the 2018 MSW. Ceud Mìle Taing Tim Wilson is the result.

  The original tune  is "Ceud Mìle Taing Tim Wilson” by Elke Baker, played by Dave Mullen on fiddle.

  In bars 21-24 1st and 4th couples are supposed to cast, pulling left soulder back, then chase half way anticlockwise, but here they omit the cast and chase half way clockwise.

  NB the deviser gave the option of using either standard or waltz hold poussette in reel time so both choices are seen here.

  And in the instructions the Philabeg is explicitly a variation where couples open out to dance out to the sides and back in again.

comment:
  I have discovered a new video of Lauderdale Lads...sort of!...which I am however NOT going to distribute generally via SCD-SoCal-mail because although it is indeed announced as Lauderdale Lads 
  1. it is done as part of a round-the-room medley, 
  2. both its beginning and its ending have been altered, 
  3. at the end of the men's LH turn, W2's step-up has been eliminated, and 
  4. within the continuous eight bars of pas-de-basque half of them are not so, and at the end thereof the repositioning has been altered as well!  
  Interesting how a dance can (often with good reason) be altered for performance purposes but this is hardly the same dance and certainly of no value whatsoever as an instructional instrument!...and as far as I am concerned the SCD Dictionary (with which I personally have no connection) should not have posted it as Lauderdale Lads, and I am fairly confident that the SCDDB (with which I do enjoy a personal connection) will reject (or perhaps already will have rejected) it as such.  
   
  But merely FYI and for interest's sake, here 'tis...if you set your timing marker at 3:35 you'll just manage to catch it!

  Charlene Lam was a member of the Livermore Class of the RSCDS San Francisco Branch
  for many years. Her constant good cheer and love of the dance kept everyone smiling.
  Sadly, Charlene passed before her time, leaving us all greatly saddened. In 2024, her
  husband, David Chang, announced a competition to devise a new dance in honor of
  Charlene.

  This reel by Mark Burt, with tune by James MacQueen, won the competition. A book of all submitted dances (Dances for Charlene) will be published in 2025.

comment:
  The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.

  The dance was taught during the afternoon session, put on the evening social dancing programme, and subsequently encored. This video shows the encore. As such, exuberance has clearly got the better of some of the dancers and this should not be considered a demonstration performance.

  Twice through as the middle part of a longer display.

  The original instructions for bars 15-16 say 1st half turn as 4th couples turn once round into promenade hold so both have the men on the left for the half reels of 17-20. Then 1st couple need to cross out and cast while 4th couple do not cross but just divide and cast in bars 21-24. However the team here have both 1st and 4th couples doing half turn in bars 15-16 so that 4th couple have the woman on the left for the half reels and then both cross out afterwards.

  A mix of views from the side and from above. Although intended as a 3x40 dance it is here danced 8x40.

  The dancers here are doing the 3 couple set variant where 3rd and 2nd couples make a full turn in bars 23-24 leading to a 3,1,2 progression.

comment:
  Bit of a longer demo. Danced by 8 couples, in a star, once through, using the figures of this dance in a composite choreography with a different ending. It is hardy possible to reconstitute the original dance from this demo, but it looks nice.

  Generally good with one quickly recovered glitch in the right hands across at the end of the 2nd repeat. The dancers here mostly do the optional setting in the double triangles figure but those not doing the right hands across often omit the expected setting.

  The dance may be done in strathspey or quicktime rhythms. Here it is an alternating medley of strathspey and jig.

  Blocked as the uploader will change the credits (which originally stated its strathspey and reel) and upload a new version to youtube.

  The performance here is adapted from the RSCDS Book 12 version for a 4 couple set (henced only graded as Good). The first 48 bars are done in three 2 couple sets and the turns of the last 16 bars are extended among all 6 couples.

  On Saturday, 21st September, 2013, the Telheiras Scottish Country Dance Group performed six country dances at the "Olhar Carnide" festival in Carnide, Lisbon. Three were old dances from the 18th and 19th centuries and three were modern dances. This was the fourth, an old country dance in a square set called Round Reel of Eight. The music we used is by Muriel Johnstone's SD Band from their CD "Dancing Live from Blair Castle".

The video starts with a longish explanation of the dance as an escape from writing lesson plans for the Unit 5 teaching course.

comment:
  Twice through as part of a longer demo (with one small omission from the RH across in the 2nd repeat).

  This demo differs significantly from the official dance:   
  -  It is danced in a doubled two-couple set ; officially it is a 3C dance in a 4C set.   
  -  In bars 1-16 the men dance first, then the W.  It should be W first, M next.   
  -  Bars 29-32 are totally different: all turn P RH instead of 1c lead down and cast up.   

  Because of these changes this video is not so useful for learning the expected choreography of the dance though does give a flavour of it.

  Hana modified for a three couple dance three times thru for show.

  Good dancing, but the final circle is here replaced by an Espagnole, so not the expected choreography.

comment:
  This clip shows the last two (complete) repeats from a demo.

  1st couples here start with a long cast rather than set and cast off as shown in the crib and diagram.
  The SCDDB extra info links the "corrected source" so perhaps this video shows another version of the dance.

  Twice through. The dancers here all advance, retire and turn in bars 9-16 whereas the instructions have just the middle 3 couples doing that.

comment:
  Twice through this very complex fugal dance. The first time round 1st couples path crossing through reels of three in bars 57-64 causes some confusion. It works better the second time.

  This is a teaching video of a Scottish Country Dance. There are audio and on screen instructions and a bar counter. The dancers wear numbered coloured tabards so that the learner can follow a particular dancer through the dance.
  The Ochil Scottish Country Dancers videoed this dance in June 2016 at St Ninian's Church Hall, Stirling, Scotland.

  Twice through, once each couple, in a three couple set as part of a longer display. The last few bars are adapted to get 1st couple to the bottom. According to the instructions 1st couple should half turn left hand in bars 3-4 but here they use the right hand.

  "The Mirror Maze" (SCDDB: 23054), a 5×32 Reel, devised by Viktor Lehmann. Dancers: Aya Ito, Margaret Hamilton, Sibylle Dalacker, Steff Eckert, Ute Scherrenbacher, Viktor Lehmann, Peter Sakurai, Martin Adam, Yang Lim, Ek Wisoot Trakulnamphueng. Thanks to Aya Ito for recording, 07 August 2025, The Old Dining Room, University of St Andrews, Scotland.

  This dance with its central figure “Reel of 5 (and GO)” goes back to a 2025 April’s fool. The deviser, also a teacher, sent messages to everyone of his class to prepare said but non-existing figure. And they took it very seriously! So much that he felt obliged to devise a dance with such a figure which is shown in bars 9-24.

  This one time through version has a few minor glitches/hesitations in the "Reel of 5 (and GO)", but you should get the impression.

comment:
  The dance is from the Imperial books. The RSCDS republication changed the wording and left out the diagram that clarified how the final solo figure is done.  Long steps and good phrasing are required, but it is a fine and fun dance.

  Video by John Patterson. This is taught at a fugues class in Wellington, October 2025. We did not have time to polish to demonstration quality, but the dancing is quite good. The phrasing of the dance is reasonably tricky. The music chosen is Peter Elmes and the Scotsmen playing "A Mile to Ride". The dance itself was given to Kristin and me when we left Ithaca, NY, in 1994 as a present from Terry Glasspool.

  Video by John Patterson. Taught at an afternoon fugues class in 2025. The dancers found the dance very challenging particularly the 4 person back to back at the end. In the end I decided not to repeat, but to move on with the afternoon with an easier fugue.

  The video starts just after the chord. There are a few variations in which shoulder is pulled back in the swirls (should always be right shoulder) but otherwise choreographically correct.

  NB the sound track needed to be replaced due to extraneous noise during filming and despite best efforts the synchronisation seems to be slightly off in part of the video.

  The dancers here are doing just six changes in the grand chain rather than the suggested eight changes (each one bar per hand). So the progression is 3,1,4,6,2,7,5 which also works.

The first complete repeat starts at 00:40.

  The dance instructions (Collins book, p. 220) for bars 9-16 say "Pas de Basque | Coupé ; repeat".  In this video the set dances "Coupé | Pas de Basque ; repeat". 

  For bars 33-40 the instructions tell 2nd couple not to move on bars 35-36, but to step up together with 3rd and 4th couples on 39-40.  In this video 2c steps up on [35-36]

  Would be “demonstration quality” except for the music (the original tune presumably didn't exist at that point).

  The turns on bars 4-5 should be danced with 1st woman passing across in front of and below her partner while he dances towards the women’s side, both still facing down. On bar 5, retaining right hands, they turn towards each other to face the top, the woman having turned under her own arm.  This video incorrectly shows the men dancing below the women.

  Demonstration at the 2012 Gay Gordons residential week in Laurieston Hall, to live music played on the piano by the composer Maurice Gilbert Hughes.

  The couple nearest the camera are fleetingly out of view, but in this dance the top two and bottom two couples are dancing the same figures (except in bars 33-36) so the choreography is generally clear - with the occasional hesitation.

  Top set is 3 couple as expected. Other 2 sets are 4 couple and are dancing a slightly modified version with the 4 joining in for the last 8 bars so the the 1s and 4s circle 4 hands round and back. Poor video quality. Phone used was propped up near the bass speaker.

comment:
  The dance was devised by Robert Senior for Ian Stuart Gray whose great uncle Robert Scott Gray served in the Dandy Ninth.  The 9th (Highlanders) Volunteer Battalion, formed in Edinburgh in 1900, was the only kilted battalion of the Royal Scots.  It adopted the Hunting Stewart tartan, and this distinctive dress earned it the nickname of "The Dandy Ninth".  Robert Gray was killed at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.  Music for the lead tune, Robert Scott Gray, was composed by Chris Dewhurst who is playing with Julie in this video.  Ian Gray is dancing as 1st man.

  From the first time this was danced in 1993 at Tawa. Resurrected from an old VHS tape and hence the video quality is not what it might be. Converted to mp4 by John Patterson. Music by Peter Elmes.

  Note that since this video was filmed the dance was revised so that the setting, previously in bars 17-18, is now moved after the half reel of four.

  NB this clip starts towards the end of bar 2.

comment:
  Excellent dancing, but most of this demo uses two 2C sets joined at the bottoms, and dancing in mirror image to each other. The "down the middle and up" is modified by adding a RHA. That makes the video unsuited for learning the dance.

comment:
  Excellent dancing. However the dancers closest to the camera are doing an adaptation for four dancers instead of three. The two pairs at each end are dancing reflected footwork in the setting parts (as are the lines of three behind them). A very impressive demonstration which is faithful to the spirit but not the letter of the original.

comment:
  This clip starts with the "Scissor progression" in bars 25-32 of the first repeat (skipping over earlier issues). It then continues with the 2nd repeat where there is some eventually recovered confusion in bars 25-32. The group here is walking rather than dancing and bars 33-40 (a circle) are consistently omitted. This is therefore not ideal for learning the dance, but so far its the only video.

  8 times through, good dancing. However, all first couples are slow to dance up on [31-32], so that they are late for setting to the corners.  Note that the Manual recommends a phrasing that disagrees with the book 9 description.

  Walked rather than danced at a costume regency ball for the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth.

  The two hand turns are here done symmetrically which looks more natural than doing both round to the right as in video #1.

  The instructions for bars 9-16 indicate that the men should turn to face up on bar 12 as the women dance down one more bar then face up on bar 13. Here they all turn together. Also in bars 19-20 and 23-24 the dancers are circling all the way round. The instructions just have "dance four hands round" but this could be interpreted as half way each time as it happens twice. At least that is the interpretation of the crib writers. It has also been noted that the music should be a pastoral/song tune style whereas the video here used a more traditional strathspey.

  I stumbled across this simple dance by Hugh Foss who wrote a lot of much more complicated dances. My class enjoyed it a lot. The 4 bar turns at the start are simple but different and fun.  The turns at the end are 6 bars vs 2 bars.  So the dance provides a good exercise in phrasing.

  The Three-Legged cat' was danced at the Johnsonville SCD Club's tartan night on September 28, 2015, in the Johnsonville School hall, Wellington, New Zealand. Margaret Bailey, who now lives in Nelson, once danced regularly with this club.

  The MC was club tutor Rod Downey, and live music was provided by Mild Heather - ie Wild Heather minus one member: Lynne Scott, Anne-Marie Forsyth and Mary McDonald. Sharlene Penman was overseas at the time.

  Just a note for anyone planning to do this dance in future: After the advance and retire, the first couple should be not so much simply dancing around each other as dancing a close 'gypsy turn'.

  The devisor writes: "The first couple are dancing the interactions between Tripod and Pinky, so dancing around is up close and glaring!"

  So just think of warring cats!

  First 2 bars missing.

  NB 1st couple is supposed to start the figure of eight (bars 9-16) behind 3rd couple, not between them.

  This clip shows twice through the standard version. In the full video this is preceded (from 57:07) by a slightly modified version where each couple dances on in turn for the fugal part.
  (This video is rated “Good” because it doesn't use the original music; otherwise it would be “Demonstration quality”.)

  The dance's full name is 'Salute to Bill Hamilton of Roseneath and Netherby', referring to the two areas of Edinburgh where Bill lived. It was devised by Alex Milligan and friends, with an original tune by Iain T MacPhail. Bill and Alex both ran country dance clubs in Edinburgh for many years, and this dance by Alex picks up some of the figures used in Bill's dances. It is danced here twice through, to live music from Iain MacPhail and Isobelle Hodgson.

  Danced four times through, twice in Strathspey and twice in Reel-time, to original tunes by Iain T MacPhail, and to live music from Iain MacPhail and Isobelle Hodgson. In the reel-time repeats, we have used two-hand turns, as originally taught by the dance's devisor, Atsuko Clement.

  Mostly good, although with quite a number of quickly recovered hesitations, false starts, variations of handing and some slight confusion at the bottom of the set in the last time through.

  This clip starts with the dance. The video has a brief intro by the deviser who is also coaching a little over the music.

  This video shows an older version of the dance. Bars 17-24 were subsequently revised to start with 1st couple turning RH, then 6 bars of figures of eight with no setting at the end.

comment:
  The dancers sometimes give left hands in the middle of the half double Celtic reel. The class teacher has found that this is useful in maintaining the shape of this formation, particularly when inexperienced dancers are dancing. The music used is The Shetland Fisherman's Backstep composed by Ronnie Jamieson. The original tune for the dance is Ronald Cooper (also known as The Shetland Two-step) composed by Ronnie's father, Frank.

  RSCDS Summer School in St. Andrews, week 4, 2018.  Dancing is excellent, but video is downgraded due to departure from the original instructions.  Five-couple version, with 1s and 3s dancing :- Right hands across in the centre and at the ends; modified corners pass & turn; Double Triangles at both ends; big circle.  On the second time through – special ending.

  NB the opening chord and first 2 bars are missing. There is an occasional hesitation but generally the choreography is clear (though occasionally some loops at the top are briefly out of view).

  After this video was filmed an original tune for the dance was composed by Ian R Muir with a recording by the Craigellachie Band.

  "Seppuku Sweet Apology" (SCDDB: 23538), a 8×32 Jig, devised by Viktor Lehmann. Dancers: Sibylle Dalacker, Karin Böttcher, Steff Eckert, Eleni Lanz, Viktor Lehmann, Hartmut Munser, Clemens Mannert, Annika Böduel. Thanks to Elisa Schmidt for recording, 17 March 2026, Waldorfschule Heidelberg, Germany.

  This dance is dedicated to Aya Ito. During her stay at my home in 2025, we managed to watch „Shogun“ and to discuss Japanese bussiness apology rules in great detail. This dance is about Seppuku (better known as „Harakiri“ outside of Japan) and the Seppuku Sweet, with first couple representing the knife; the first eight bars symbolise how the slit is set; the second eight bars - well, those are about how the knife affects the intestines; the Grand Chain applies the jam to the sweet and the last eight bars wrap it all up and put the sweets in the box.

  The dancing is of demonstration quality, but this was part of a longer display, so there are some modifications. Danced twice through, but on the 1st repetition 1s and 2s lead down, and on the 2nd repetition, all 4 couples join in for the circle round and back.

  Music by Craigellachie, including the tune composed for the dance.

comment:
  Excellent dancing though here the dancers are taking hands instead of passing right shoulders during the double celtic reel.

  There are versions of the instructions with either half RH turn or passing RSh  when going into the promenade whereas the instructions have the men just passing their partners who stand still. Here they do the half RH turn.

comment:
  This video is danced as per the instructions in the Sydney 50th Anniversary Book with no hands taken in bars 25-26 when the men pass their partners before the promenade (by contrast the revised version in the Waratah Collection has bars 25-26 as a half RH turn).

comment:
  Note: the video was assembled by alternating two videos, taken from top and bottom of the set.  They are beautifully linked, but the switches between the two views, occuring at odd moments, are confusing as one cannot follow individual dancers, and so learn the dance from the video.  Let's hope for a new video that does not switch viewpoints; that would be more useful.

  The dance is being danced to the original tune, written by Vincent McCourt at a dance on 12 November 2022 to celebrate 60 years of the Headington SCD class. The dance deviser, Lesley McCourt is dancing as 1st Lady in the second set.

  The instructions in the Iberian Commemorative Book have "set" in bars 9-10. According to the deviser this is a mistake and there should be no setting. So the video is correct in having no setting there.

  The deviser is also happy with variations in bars 17-24: either crossing at top and bottom or just turning once at the top are fine as shown here.

  The original instructions do not specify how to perform the transition between the G-Chain and the final eight bars of the dance (Arches). This video is part of a longer demonstration, which may explain why the G-Chain was danced starting from a reel-of-four position on sidelines rather than as indicated in the Manual.

  Description from the dance "Back to Back":

  First couple dances a figure of eight on the side of the dance, around their own corner positions, starting with right shoulder to first corner  
  while second and third men, and likewise second and third women, dance consecutive back to backs on the side of the dance. Second and third couples begin by passing right shoulders on bars 17-18 and left shoulders on bars 21-22. 

  Note: besides the above way the Formation may be danced in a "mirrored" way (as in the dance "Still Together") with the dancing couple starting down and out and the corner couples dancing Back to Back accordingly.

notes:
  There are very few dances having a Bourrel that involves 4 couples, and their formations differ in details.  So for the time being we use this Formation as a collective name for all Bourrels involving 4 couples. If their number (ever) grows over a certain size, we can still split it.  Heiko has renamed the Formation to "Bourrel - 4 couple" to indicate that it includes not only one type.

  Two typical dances:

  Chris Ronald's Strathspey  32 Bar Strathspey for 3C/4L set  (Ron Wallace, San Andreas Collection, #9)  

  The original description in the Dunsmuir Book reads:

  25-32  1st couple dance interrupted set to corners and partner (hello-goodbye): 1st couple set to 1st comers and partner then tum with right hands to face 2nd corners. 1st couple set to 2nd corners and partner then tum with right hands to finish in second place. 

  In strathspey@strathspey.org:66273 we read the details:

  1C move to the sideline on the left foot but instead of facing partner have
  right shoulder facing partner, then the right hand turn is a three quarter
  turn to face second corner; similarly, set to second corner on the right
  foot, move on the left foot to between 2C or 3C but again don't face
  partner but have right shoulder facing ready for an easy three quarter
  right hand turn to second place on own side.

  In his notes for <<ddd:Catherine Hayes' Delight#1091>>, which introduced this formation, John Drewry writes that:
  > The Rosette was named for Ros McKie of Newcastle N.S.W. because she complained that I had written a dance for Eddie Selwyn and not one for her. I assume that she is a progressive lady and an "above the navel" dancer. (See <<ddd:Jewel in the Navel, The#3250>>)".

  NB there are two variants of the Rosette formation. One due to John Drewry as described above and a slightly different version from Alex Gray.
