The Mercat Cross
May 1, 2006, 2:10 a.m. (Message 45132)
This dance - by John Bowie Dickson - is on an upcoming ball programme (the
Boston Ball) and I have to teach it tomorrow evening. I've done the dance
several times, and don't expect any problem with the teaching. But I don't have
the original instructions, and I'm wondering if John Bowie Dickson named the
dance after any particular mercat cross (yes, I looked it up in google,
wikipedia, etc.), or if he gave any other explanation for the name of the dance.
So I'd be glad to hear from you (on or off list) if you have access to the
original instructions.
Many thanks,
Chris, New York.
