1 Scottish Dance in a Hexagon Set November 19, 2013 Square dancing introduced me to adapting square-set figures for a 6-couple hexagon set. I would enjoy testing some Scottish dances in a hexagon set (see diagram below). The rules for figures are modified when dancers travel through the center of the set, but are preserved on the edges. It is frequently necessary to adapt the figures of a dance in order for the dance to work in a hexagon set. I examined Ian Powerie s Farewell to Auchterarder and I believe it can be danced without modification. Something I wonder about is: a hexagon set is larger, so dancers would need to travel faster in order to travel the required distance. We might need to slow down the music. See below for Square and Hexagon descriptions. An interesting quality is that the parallel reels of 4 across the set involve three side couple or head couple spokes. Dancer begins dancing the reel in parallel with partner. Partners separate and travel along different spokes and then rejoin when they return to the original spoke. Reference
2 IAN POWRIE'S FAREWELL TO AUCHTERARDER (J128) Square Set 1-8 All circle 8H round to the left & back 9-24 Ladies dance in front of partner & behind next Man, into RH across, in front of Man opposite own partner & behind next Man, into RH across & back to place All Promenade clockwise s & 3s dance clockwise behind next couple & Men dance past couple as Ladies dance in between couple & all turn R to face couple, all set & turn RH All dance parallel reels of s & 3s dance a full figure of 8 round the standing 2s/4s s & 3s dance LH across, 1s & 3s dance back to places (Men round & Ladies through the standing 2s & 4s) s & 4s repeat All Promenade anticlockwise Men dance in front of partner & behind next Lady, into LH across, dance in front of Lady opposite own partner & behind next Lady, into LH across & back to place All circle 8H round to the right & back IAN POWRIE'S FAREWELL TO AUCHTERARDER (J128) Hexagon Set 1-8 All circle 12H round to the left & back 9-24 Ladies dance in front of partner & behind next Man, into RH across, in front of Man opposite own partner & behind next Man, into RH across & back to place All Promenade clockwise s & 3s & 5s dance clockwise behind next couple & Men dance past couple as Ladies dance in between couple & all turn R to face couple, all set & turn RH All dance parallel reels of s & 3s & 5s dance a full figure of 8 round the standing 2s/4s/6s s & 3s & 5s dance LH across, 1s & 3s & 5s dance back to places (Men round & Ladies through the standing 2s & 4s & 6s) s & 4s & 6s repeat All Promenade anticlockwise Men dance in front of partner & behind next Lady, into LH across, dance in front of Lady opposite own partner & behind next Lady, into LH across & back to place All circle 12H round to the right & back
3 Another classic dance, Culla Bay, might work in a hexagon set. A side effect is dancers become separated from their partners on bars 1-8. Ladies progress one place anticlockwise while men progress three places across the set. Couples reunite on the opposite side of the set after three times through the dance. Parallel reels of 4 travel along the three spokes. Reference 3:00 CULLA BAY (S4x32) Square Set 1-4 1s & 3s advance & 1/2 turn opposite partner RH & cast out to opposite side 5-8 1s & 3s chase 1/4 round set clockwise & dance in passing 2s/4s RSh curving in to face 2s/4s as 2s & 4s repeat bars 1-4 & turn right about to face 1s/3s 9-16 All dance parallel reels of 4 across set s+1s also 4s+3s circle 4H once round to left, set & dance RH across 1/2 way s+4s dance LH across once round, 2s & 4s dance out through sides passing opposite partner RSh & chase round set clockwise to next place CULLA BAY (S6x32) Hexagon Set 1-4 1s & 3s & 5s advance & "1/2" turn adjacent "head" partner RH & cast out to adjacent "head" side 5-8 1s & 3s & 5s chase 1/6 round set clockwise & dance in passing 2s/4s/6s RSh curving in to face 2s/4s/6s as 2s & 4s & 6s repeat bars 1-4 & turn right about to face 1s/3s/5s 9-16 All dance parallel reels of 4 across set s+1s also 4s+3s also 6s+5s circle 4H once round to left, set & dance RH across 1/2 way s+4s+6s dance LH across once round, 2s & 4s & 6s dance out through sides passing opposite partner RSh & chase round set clockwise to next place
