Sussex Cottage 3-couple LW set Chris Turner or Jo Trapnell (I've seen both credited with authorship and would love to get it right) 32-bar jigs work well, and Sharon's partial to Major Mackie's Jig per Kalia on ECD list A1 1-4 1s lead down to the bottom then cast up to the top. 5-8 All back to back with partner (often the 1s haven't gotten home yet, but it still works if they miss the back to back) A2 1-4 3s lead up to the top and then cast to the bottom. 5-8 All back to back with partner. B1 1-8 1s face down, 2s and 3s face up, for parallel heys on the sides, starting with a right-shoulder pass at the top. B2 1-4 1s and 2s circle halfway and trade places with partner. 5-8 1s (now in middle) and 3s circle halfway and trade places with partner. If the group isn't up to doing the heys, Sharon says she sometimes will substitute partner right-hand turn and left-hand turn in the B1. Kalia writes: Sussex Cottage is a perfect dance for new folks since the rest of the dance, outside of the heys, is extremely simple, rompy, and hard to break. And fun, too! That's important. A1 1s down the middle and up the outside. Everyone back to back w/P. A2 3s up the middle and down the outside. Everyone back to back w/P. B1 R-sh heys on the sides. B2 Top 4 circle 1/2 and trade places w/P. Bottom 4 circle 1/2 and trade places w/P.
