Gay Gordons

This is a Scottish folk dance, so it begins on the right foot (not the left as is ballroom custom). The lady is supposed to dance something like the Pas De Basque while turning in bars 9 to 12. However, this is difficult and it is possible (or even typical) just to twirl while walking.
