I've been looking at the dances in Book 11 and have a query about the first 4 bars of Miss Murray of Ochtertyre. What is a "cross jump"?

Answer

Bars

1 2 slip steps to Left

2 2 cross jumps on spot ( Jump with both feet off ground and land with R foot in front. Jump again and land with L foot in front)

3-4 Repeat bars 1and 2
