Malcolm:

Many thanks for the Chasing the Wild Goose!

It arrived just as I was looking for something different for my class that
evening, so I decided that we should try it. I devised a dance a few years
ago in which I wanted everyone to change partners on each repetition. I
seem to recall working it out that you need an odd number of couples in the
set to accomp[lish it (I used a 3 x 32 Strathspey).

I wouldn't say that everyone mastered Chasing the Wild Goose, but it
provided lots of fun and has an ingenuity to it that is quite original!

Recommendation to others: give it a try -- it's great fun, easy to follow,
and refreshingly different!
