G'Day All,

I have a copy of 101 dances, which reads for bars 13-16:

"1st couple lead up the middle to the top of the set, then cast off one
place on the wrong sides of the dance and turn to face 1st corners."

Thus, there is no CROSS in this description.

I suppose that the "turn to face 1st corners" could be interpreted to mean
that the dancing couple give hands to turn.

101 is much more wordy than Book 7 and I like the fact that "wrong" in 101
has been changed to "opposite" in book 7. After all, what is "wrong" about
being on the other side of the set?
