RE: Angus Macleod-to promenade or not to promenade

Marie,

I have to say that I would go with whatever David Queen suggests given
that it was his father who devised the dance back in 1969.  Also, I have
to admit I have never seen it danced with promendae.  And, your
instructions say 'dance up/down' which I have always understood to be
nearer hands.

For interest, Angus MacLeod was the founder of the Clan MacLeod Pipe
Band in Liverpool (just down the road from where I grew up), which was
the band Alex Queen (David's father) piped in.

Rgds,
Phill
