​

​Teaching Points: 

½ Bernard-Bentley allemande- Working cpl join RH, man turns lady under his arm WHILE he steps forward and in front of his ptnr, placing her behind him

 

Reels- These are started from the 4 corner positions.

1st corner= top man’s position

2nd corner= bottom man’s position

3rd corner= bottom lady’s position

4th corner= top lady’s position.

 

Note that the above are positions and not people, it is always a man in these places.  The 4th reel variation allows the working cpl to end on their own side facing their 1st corners. During the walkthrough this will not be what dancers expect, so emphasise that for last reel you are not working with your partner.

Once you get the flow of the dance it really does move along nicely, the working cpl should not stop at any point.
