Subject: Question on hands

Am I correct in thinking that when the book says "partners take both hands", that unless specifically stated (uncrossed), the ladies hands shall be crossed right over left and the gents hands shall be uncrossed? I've seen some dances performed with hands both ways in different teams and have been confused.

[> If it's not specifically stated for the dance you can do it as you like and make a comment to the effect that it's not specifically noted in the book. Commonly, though, it's the norm for jigs to be uncrossed (bowls) and reels to be crossed. -- TM & TC, 22:42:39 10/22/09 Thu [1]

[> [> Really? I've never heard that before. The "points to remember" at the beginning of the book says that the arms should be crossing when partners dance around together, so I'm using that as my default. -- x, 15:50:44 10/23/09 Fri [1]

[> the first few pages of the book explain this (i believe there's a numbered list) as well as things like "timing" of music. -- never hurts to read it cover to cover... :-), 13:10:51 10/23/09 Fri [1]
