Question

A query concerning bars 25 – 30 and 31 – 32 of Euan’s Jig; how is the progression effected ?

Answer 

The description of bars 25 - 32 in Bk28 is misleading  -  there is a note about this in both the old A5 and new A4 Manuals.

The way it is intended to be danced is for both couples to complete an 8-bar double figure of eight in only 6 bars of music, then to use the last two bars for the second couple to continue to dance up into first place, as if starting a second double figure of eight, while the first couple continue in and down, as for a second double figure of eight, but change their minds after half a bar and curve, first man by the right, first woman by the left, into second place, own sides.
