PEELER AND THE GOAT

                  © 2008    Larry E.Taylor

    This is a non-progressive, two-hand, 32-bar pattern danced to jig music.
    Couples take positions around the perimeter of the dance floor with gents having their
            backs toward the center; the line of dance is anticlockwise.
    The pattern is also danced free; that is, dance in the available space as others dance
            either the same or another jig rhythm pattern.
    Bar counts for dance patterns are shown in bold.
    Documentation is based upon a video workshop led by Pat Murphy.
