(The pattern is continuous for 2nd couple who turn in on bar 28 and dance down immediately, followed by 3rd couple. As in the previous four bars, the dancers casting up dance in a straight line and turn in together on bar 32.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested music: October in Rechberg, Muriel Johnstone, Dancing on Air<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dance was written to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Ardbrae \u2013 the half reel of six and the circle represent 60. The first classes in 1964 were held at Ridgemont High School. Hence, the Scottish group name, Ardbrae \u2013 high or top (ard) hill (brae).
The pattern of the last 8 bars appears in the dance, Seagreen, by John Drewry.
