Miss Janet Laing's Strathspey:- The Story: People are claiming this is a HARD dance. They are correct. Sandra is pointing her finger at me and saying I am at fault. I, in turn, am pointing my finger at her as the main culprit. It was on her short list.
At fault was our timing. She sent me a short list of dances for consideration. Miss Janet was one of those dances. She has a daughter in GB who was recently married and expecting her first child. Sandra spent time visiting. Rather a lot of that time during the critical phase of the program development, out of touch, and ultimately I had to choose. It was on her list so I went with it. Ta da! Here it is… Oh! You hadn't actually danced it? You liked how it read? Oops. Oh well.
The dance is in the 4.5 to 5 out of 5 in difficulty. Tight timing is needed to get the circles to flow.
A real challenger - and you could use it if you need to humble an advanced class who are good (and know it). But I love the conceit of the first 16 bars and the subsequent circles to get you home.
