It's My Pleasure 8x32 J

Posted by gary on Oct 24, 2013 in Jigs

IT'S MY PLEASURE

32-bar jig for 3 couples in a 4-couple set

1-8 1st couple lead (right hands joined) down the middle for three and back to 1st place for three. On bars 7 and 8, 1st couple cast into second place while 2nd couple steps up.
9-16 2nd, 1st, and 3rd couples dance an 8 bar mirror reel on their own side of the dance. 1st couple begins by dancing in and down, 3rd couple out and up, 2nd couple out and down.
17-20 1st couple dances a half figure 8 around their second corner, giving right shoulder to begin and ending in 2nd place on opposite sides.
21-24 1st couple turn partner by the right hand 1 and a half times to 2nd place on their own side.
25-32 2nd, 1st and 3rd couples dance 6 hands round and back
  Repeat having passed a couple.

Devised October 2013, by Gary Lindsey (gary.lindsey [at] sbcglobal.net)

Recommended Tune: I really like "The Pleasures of the Night". Lead tune in the three versions of "C'est l'Amour" that I have.
