Advance and Retire isn't in any of the Playfords (the extent
of my knowledge of ECD). I also don't recall it in any ECD
i've been to...
The origin of "Advance and Retire" might be a good question to ask
on "rec.folk-dancing". The figure is quite common in Contra dance and
American Square dancing, both of which heavily derive from
Scottish Country and Irish Ceili/Set dancing.
