====== Larkin Grace ====== Chris Sackett and Brooke Friendly 2005\\ Square for Four Couples\\ Tune: Larkin Grace A 1-2 Heads: opposites advance setting to change places by L-shoulder (end facing out) 3-4 Heads: turn individually Over R shoulder into 2-hand turn halfway with opposite (end in middle of square, in front of home place) 5-8 Heads circle 4-hands to left three quarters, and (on bar 8) pass original opposite by R shoulder to face sides in two parallel lines of 4 9-16 L shoulder heys for 4 in each line into... B 1-4 Heads R hands across once round in middle while side dancers (as individuals) orbit the set CCW halfway round 5-8 Heads, with nearest sides, L-hands across once round 9-12 Those foursome begin a broken circle to right: the 2nd diagonal of the side couple leads the foursome from a small circle into a big circle three quarters around so all couples have progressed one place CCW from original place (ending with side couples in head couple positions) 13-16 Partners L-hand turn once round Repeat the dance from new positions (original sides active in head positions) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osOsTavE-L0 Music: O Son do ar by Bieito Romero\\ Teaching points: \\ A bar 9-16 the parallel lines for the heys are across the middle of the set.\\ A bar 16 for heads: last pass of hey by R-shoulder is almost a half gypsy with original opposite to get into the R-hands across.\\ B bars 1-4: for sides orbiting the set the 2 diagonal is in front of partner.\\ B bars 9-12: the open circle of 4 (hands joined except for the leader) quickly unwinds into the broken circle of 8; it should look and feel like a real circle even though not all hands are joined.\\ Originally written for Larkin Sackett as a Scottish strathspey and published in first volume of dances, it works equally well as a waltz.
