Violynne

Devised by Rod Downey in January 2004 as a teaching dance for the beginners class at New Zealand Summer School. Rod had taught the class Sandy o’er the Lea and wanted a dance with a poussette and mirror reels.

Rod also wanted to write a dance for Lynne Scott who is a multi-talented musician and the fiddle is one of her favourite instruments.
