Chase Me!

Chase Me! is an English Country Dance. It was devised by Colin Hume (website) in 1992 and published in New Dances for Old. It is a proper 3 Couple Longways dance. It is a multipart dance. The minor set lasts 176 bars. Someone thought this dance was Intermediate.

The tune was published by Playford with the dance, My Lady Cullen. (Pat Shaw later composed a matching B tune which is not used here), and the music was synthesized by Colin Hume's software.

The animation plays at 109 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance will often be slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily (no music plays during this slow set). Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.

The dance contains the following figures: hand turn (allemande), set, turn single, circle, cast, lead, figure eight, hands across, hey, siding (and probably others).
