Let's write an Xmarks dance

[Panache]

Hamish's Mirror

A 32 bar strathspey for three couples

[Bars 1-4] 1st and 2nd couples dance right hands across

[Bars 5-12] 1st and 2nd couples dance diamond pousette

[Bars 13-14] 1st man and 1st lady cast off 1 place

[Bars 15-16] 1st man and 1st lady dance up taking nearer hands up 1 place (ready to cast off into mirror reels with 1st couple going out)

[Bars 17-24] Mirror reels (starting with 1st and 3rd couples going out and 2nd couple going in)

[Bars 26-28] 1st, 2nd, and 3rd couples turn both hands (2nd and 3rd couples returning to their own sides)

[Bars 29-30] 1st couple continue turning to pull back right shoulders for a half gypsy turn to own side (facing out)

[Bars 31-32] 1st couple exit out own side down to second place (or bottom of set)



Be kind folks this is the first time I have ever tried to write a dance!


Cheers
