It also occurs to me that a variation of the figure is the core of
the Scottish dance "Flowers of Edinburgh". (It's in a triple-minor
set, so the lady casts off past two couples and the gent cuts
through after two, but it's otherwise the same figure, done with
skip-change step in eight bars instead.
And exactly the same figure (duple minor) is the core of the English
Dance "Corn Rigs" (not to be confused with the Scottish dance of the
same name) in the Community Dances Manual.
