​Teaching Points:

Tandem Reels- Those in middle places are acting as a unit but DO NOT change leads as they go through the ends. It is the same as a reel for three, but for four people. The ‘tandems’ finish the reel by going up/down the side of the set. Middle couples have switched places after the reels.


The circle R might throw dancers off slightly as it’s not what they expect - It is, however, the way that the tandems are going!
