Learning the jig traveling step... hop-skip-2-3, hop-skip-2-3!


Learning side-stepping "7s" in a circle... left foot hits the ground behind the right on "1", travel using the right foot in front starting on "2", catch up with the back foot on the odd counts... to "7", swing the right foot back on the "&" (we don't say "8"), letting it hit the ground behind the left on "1" to move with the left on "2"...


Meanwhile, the core class works on a 5-hand reel called The 5-Hand Reel, though it is not the only 5-hand reel... hm, perhaps we can create one that we like even more?


Musicians! In ever increasing numbers, much to the delight of the dancers!


This looks like "Reel the Set" in Haymaker's Jig... hard to be certain.


Did someone call for... a hero? Chris appears to be answering that call. (And I thought I'd hero him up a bit more with Photoshop.)


Remington & Erica make up one half of a 4-Hand Reel set, executing a fine Around the House maneuver.
