This
dance
arose
from
dancing
The
Celtic
Reel
by
Barry
Skelton
and
the
idea
that
the
‘Celtic
reel’
could
well
be
done
in
a
square
set
with
all
four
couples
dancing
the
reel
together.
Other
movements
were
added,
each
with
celtic
patterns
in
mind.
The
dance
was
used
as
the
theme
dance
for
the
27
th
Australian
Winter
School
in
Sydney
July 6-13
th
2002, which had a Celtic theme.
The
dance
was
published
in
the
Sydney
50
th
Anniversary
(2002)
Book
of
Dances
and
subsequently
by
Brian
himself
in his Waratah Collection.
