Repeat having passed a couple
"Set and Rotate for three couples" This figure used a few years ago by Barry Skelton follows the same principle as set and rotate for two couples. All set starting to pull the right shoulder back at the end. Men cast up and across the top, ladies cast off and across in third place, Second and third couples are on the sides, first couple in the middle. All change with partner giving right hand and chase back to own sides in changed places.
Tune: The Bugle Call Two-Step or Sporty Boys (same tune by Felix Burns with two names)
Suggested recorded music : The Travelling Dancers, David South on Kardinia Capers CD.
