Last night we danced Slainte Mhor. At Rechberg (2004) we were taught 17- All W RH across, at the end pivot R to face P ; set to P | turn RH ½ to put the men in the middle 25- All M LH across, at the end pivot L to face P ; set to P | turn LH into promenade hold This time we were taught that both the Women make a LH across for bars 17 to 20. It flows better from the preceding hands round, but is less symmetrical with 25-28. Can anyone with the original instruction clarify what is right? Happy dancing, Eric -- Eric T.

If you go to www.streaming-pictures.co.uk/catalogue.htm and look at the CD or DVD We Twa you will find that the music has been recorded - if you click on the name of the dance you will be taken to Moira Stacey's (the devisor's) website and the full instructions. If you have problems get in touch and I will put you in touch with Moira direct. Happy Dancing Sue Petyt www.suepetyt.me.uk Skype Sue Petyt

I forgot to mention - there is a DVD of Slainte Mhor (and other dances by Moira Stacey) being demonstrated. Moira was giving instructions to the dancers, so they definitely did it correctly. DVD is available at www.streaming-pictures.co.uk/catalogue.htm Happy Dancing Sue Petyt www.suepetyt.me.uk Skype Sue Petyt

Hello-I'm new to the list & found comments on my dance "Slainte Mhor" Firstly, there is no pivoting! At least, it wasn't written that way! Women dance right hands across, men left hands across. The promenade is clockwise both times. Full instructions are on www.moirastacey.com Enjoy the dance Moira
