+ | Square for Four Couples\\ | ||
+ | Tune: Larkin Grace | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | 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)</code> | ||

+ | 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. | ||
