IMHO I think it sometimes depends on the type of set. It works quite well in Barry Priddey's "Woodland Assembly" where the dance is done in a square or quadrille set. Quite a few of the old country dances (American & English) as well as Irish set dances use advance & retire as a staple. Tom Mungall Baton Rouge, La, USA
