This non-progressive, sixteen-bar, two hand dance is to begin with partners side-by-side |
| (gent on the left) in a ring around the perimeter of the dance area; the line of dance | |
| is anticlockwise; the dance is also danced-free in the available space as others | |
| dance the same or another jig pattern. | |
| |
Change places: remember the right-rear principle when partners change places; |
| namely, the dancer moving to the right, dances to the rear of his / her partner. | |
| |
This two hand dance is also known as THREE STEP. Sometimes reels are played. |
| |
Gents begin forward on the left foot and ladies begin forward on the right foot except |
| as shown below. | |
| |
Bar counts (quantities of measures) for patterns are shown in bold. |

Documentation is based upon a workshop taught by Gerard Butler in Chicago, |
