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

  Sometimes I think that I will go mad if I ever hear that tune again! But
  guess what? Every SCD class, Bonnie Anne gets played to death!
  
  As for three couple dances that make good demo dances, I'll echo Wendy and
  James, with "Flight of the Falcon". Another fine three couple dance IMO is
  "Wind on Loch Fyne" which is a three couple strathspey done in a triangle
  set.

  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.&nbsp; So things like Reel of the Royal Scots and Maxwell's Rant
  can be troublesome (but certainly not impossible) with only three
  couples.&nbsp; I'll second Wendy's suggestion of Flight of the Falcon.
