Marble Arch

Marble Arch is an English Country Dance. It was devised by Colin Hume (website) in 1992 and published in New Dances for Old. It is a 4 Couple Longways dance with the 3s, 4s improper. There is no progression in this dance. It is a USA dance. The dance lasts 96 bars. It is in the key: B# major. Someone thought this dance was Hard.

The tune, Argeers, was published by Playford with the dance. It was performed by Bare Necessities (Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Peter Barnes, and Jacqueline Schwab) on the album At Home. The music is used with permission from the Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, Inc.

The animation plays at 113 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, circle, cast, lead, figure eight, double figure eight, siding, arming (and probably others).
