And Black Joke -
the one in the community-level version that goes
8 measures plus Hey, Down, Diddledy Dum
8 measures plus Hey, Down, Diddledy Dum
4 claps, 4 claps
8 measures plus Hey, Down, Diddledy Dum

Hi folks,
Any favourite unusual length dances or dances that do unusual things with
timings - across the music or unusual figure lengths? I'm thinking dances
like Money musk at 24 bars and Major hey at 40 bars for instance.
Thanks,
Bob
