Re: Two chords - a question (as to definition)

March 20, 2006, 8:39 p.m. (Message 44779)

Eike,

There are many four-couple dances which begin (each round) with the couples 
three and four on the opposite side.  It has been traditional (but nowadays 
increasingly questioned) to begin with everyone in a normal four-couple longwise 
set and for the dance's music to begin with two chords, the first for the 
usual bows and curtseys, the second for the lower two couples to change sides 
prior to the actual outset of dancing.

Likewise regards from Southern California,
Robb
