This one was definitely an English dance fist. The original movements are similar (two people dancing through the other two and back to place in 4 bars) but the pairings are completely different and it flows beautifully. This is one of those dances that should have been left as an English dance. Not sure how some of these old English dances 'morph' into a similar but different Scottish dancee that usually don't work as well.! Marjorie has the history on this one and often uses this in her classes of English/Scottish similarities and differences etc. Elaine
