Music:
32 bar jigs or reels.

Notes:
Colin Hume has an article on how to "Foot It".

The direction of the Turn Single is not specified. You could turn to the right one and a half times, but I prefer to curve right during the Cross Over (keeping eye contact) then turn left into a wide turn, so that the whole move is an "S" shape.
