This
dance
is
identical
to
East
Neuk
Storm
danced
in
strathspey
time.
We
initially
tried
this
to
get
the
9-24
bars
movement
fixed
in
our
minds
-
and
liked
it!
As
the
dance
was
written
to
go
with
the
tune,
David
Page
kindly
wrote a second tune with phrases borrowed from the original so they are still ‘themed’.
