Honeysuckle Cottage

Honeysuckle Cottage is an English Country Dance written by Gary Roodman, and published in “A Finite Set of Calculated Figures“ in 2003: It is an improper duple minor dance. The tune, also called “Honeysuckle Cottage“, was composed by Jonathan Jensen and performed by Jessica Murrow, Karen Axelrod, Mary Lea and Naomi Morse on the album “Band of Friends“. It is used here with permission from Gary Roodman. The animation plays at 122 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the figures more readily (no music plays in this slow set). Men are draw 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.
