All the Young Folk

All the Young Folk is an English Country Dance. It was devised by Pat Shaw (website) in 1974 and published in New Wine in Old Bottles. It is a 6 Couple Circle dance. There is no progression in this dance. It is a USA dance. The dance lasts 96 bars.

The animation plays at 120 counts per minute. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color.

The dance contains the following figures: USA, hand turn (allemande), set, turn single, gypsy, circle, lead, hey, circular hey, rights and lefts, siding, arming (and probably others).

If you find what you believe to be a mistake in this animation, please leave a comment on youtube explaining what you believe to be wrong. If I agree with you I shall do my best to fix it.
