Author's Notes:
When Lloyd Shaw instructed, he told the dancers to imagine a golden thread attached to their breastbones and leading up towards Heaven. By allowing their chests to be drawn up by this thread, they were assured of maintaining good posture while dancing.
Editor's Notes:
These notes are paraphrased from the author's dance description:
Suggested timing in A2:
(6) 1st gent goes down the outside 2 places while 1st lady goes down the center
(2) 1's pass through the line (below the 2's)
(8) 1st gent come up the center while 1st lady come up the outside
B1 begins with: 1's cast (unassisted) to a position outside the set and take hands with the 2's and 3's, who turn to face during the 1's cast
In B2 the allemande should be wide and open; use all of the music
