Robert and Margaret Senior live in Uppingham and run the Oakham Scottish Dancing Class.
Robert devised the dance in 2010 and it was included in TSC Dance Book 1 when it was published in 2013. In 2014
the RSCDS adopted the dance for Book 48 and Robert inscribed the dance in memory of their son Alastair who
was born and raised in Rutland.
