Somehow the inconveniences of the choreography seem worth it. > Perhaps someone should write a different dance to the same music? I absolutely agree. Our branch has tried this dance a few times, and almost everyone simply found it hard slogging without enough of a payoff. I know that when I was the one who selected it, it was for the music. So, this week I am planning to teach Netherby Hall. I don't have a recording of the recommended tunes (at least not in anything x32, and not in AABB as John Drewry suggests) - so have been looking for a suitable alternate recording. Last night I pulled out Loch Leven Castle and listened to it: appropriately dark and textured, and AABB! I have it on my programme for tomorrow night - will let you know what the class thinks of it!
