Bonnie Anne is a dance I stay away from. But the music is another
thing altogether. Who could not like The Glendaruel Highlanders?
(Campbelltoun Loch I wish you were whisky, I would drink you dry!) I
use it for beginners and audience participation with Martha Veranth's
dance A Trip to Boston, such fun to have all three couples slipping
down for four, and up for four!

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.
