[SCA-Dance] Fw: Gresley: Grene Gynger

[sarah scroggie]

On looking at my Inns of court again I would say that the "tret and retret"
fits in place of the "2 singles sides" both of which feel like they fill
the same dance function as a "set" as in "set and turn" and are not
infrequently followed by a turn.
