| + | 9-24 Four diagonal half tandem reels of 'four’ (active couples each dance as a unit, | ||
| + | alternating as leader and follower and passing the other active couple in the | ||
| + | middle by L-shoulder to get to next corner; actives end improper, others end | ||

| + | Chris spent 1997-98 at University of British Columbia getting his MFA in theatrical lighting and | ||
| + | sound design. While he was there, waiching orcas in the Straits of Georgia, he conceived the | ||
| + | ‘dolphin’ or tandem reel portion of this dance. It is unusual in that it is a reel of ‘four’ with two | ||
| + | couples dancing in tandem; all other tandem reels that we know of are for ‘three’ with one | ||
| + | couple dancing in tandem. | ||
