Iona Set Second Figure

We've had a few dances in Iona lately, and it's been great to see so many people of all ages on the dance floor, and folks new to square dances giving it a go! We thought it might be helpful to share some videos explaining what's happening in the figures. The set danced in Iona and other local communities consists of 3 figures - the first figure is danced to jigs, and the second and third to reels. The figures work best with 4 couples in a set. There are many variations that may appear in the sets depending on where they're danced and who's dancing. Here's the second figure. Check out the video for the first figure here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M8KrY4Qlp4. We'll share the third figure shortly. Keep an eye on our Highland Village Museum page https://www.facebook.com/highlandvill... and https://www.centralcapebreton.com/ for information about upcoming dances.
