  Re: dances for 3 cpl sets? Was Re: favourite books

  We used the tune to death in Baton Rouge because we only had three
  couples for quite sometime.  But we never did learn the dance
  Bonnie Anne.
   
  As for three couple dances, the list IS huge!  I recommend one
  that the first couple doesn't immediately interact with the second
  couple because you'll have third couple stepping up and firsts casting
  after the first repetition.  So things like Reel of the Royal
  Scots and Maxwell's Rant can be troublesome (but certainly not
  impossible) with only three couples.  I'll second Wendy's
  suggestion of Flight of the Falcon.

  All the (old) recordings for Bonnie Anne are other good sources for
  3x32 Jig sets.  Does anybody still do Bonnie Anne?
