The closest thing I can think of is the Mercat Cross (J.B. Dickson, Dunedin 3). This is not a 3-couple Rondel, but it does use the final arch to get 1st cpl to the bottom: bars 25-32 C1 & C2 Rondel meanwhile bars 29-32 C3 set advancing to make an arch which C1 dance under to finish in 3rd pl., while C3 dance up to 2nd pl. (i.e. C1 dance under a double arch, first under C2 arch and then under C3 arch, on the last 2 bars). You have me thinking of permutations and combinations to make a "true" 3-cpl Rondel, although the arches to go across the dance would have to be modified. In fact, you may find yourself with several different 3-cpl Rondels proposed! ;^) Do you have one, by any chance? Norah Link (Montreal, QC)

Haven't seen a 3-couple rondel, but my husband Dan wrote a dance with a 5-person rondel (it was a ceilidh act, the dance being entitled: Lady Rosenberg's Trip to the Arctic Circle Strathspey). --Lara Friedman-Shedlov Minneapolis, MN USA Quoting xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx: > Can anyone point me to a dance using a Rondel which has been extended > to involve three couples?

I have the four bars that got me thinking about it, and two more that look Rondel-ish if I take off my glasses and squint. I'm really hoping to get several people thinking about it to see what kinds of directions and variations they come up with. And I'm being coy becuase sometimes even stating things that seem obvious can end up limiting creative directions. Terry Glasspool Upstate NY, USA

Bryan McAlister A local deviser, Tim Wilson, has a dance with a 4-couple tournee! "Dancing on Parnassus" is not for beginners, but is great fun - Bruce Herbold taught it at the Ft. Worden (Washington State, USA) weekend in September. Miriam Mueller, SF
