Note:
As the progression is 3 1 2, the dance actually works equally well as a
3-couple dance in a 4-couple set.
This dance was devised for Myra Hinde.
Francis Drake was a seaman, politician and engineer but best remembered as the captain of the first English ship,
The Golden Hind, to circumnavigate the globe between 1577 and 1580.
The hardship endured in overcrowded and primitive quarters was unbelievable. Only 56 men survived with Drake,
returning three years and 40,000 miles later, with a vast cargo of treasure worth hundreds of millions of pounds
in today's money. Queen Elizabeth's share alone was more than the country's national debt.
'El Draco' or 'The Dragon' became one of the most famous men in Western Europe, was feared and reviled by the
Spanish and was duly knighted in London.
