There are many versions of Becky Hill's Druid Reel (as far as I can tell). This one is the version that I learned from Lisa Greenleaf. What makes the dance special is the flow in A1 and A2. What makes it tricky is the one-step almd lf at the bottom of B1, which really should come before the end of the phrase, not at the beginning of B2. (Left to their own devices, the dancers will tend to allemande at the beginning of B2 instead, which works, but makes the timing of the hey rather tighter than it needs to be.)

This dance usually teeters on the edge of breaking down until it finally does actually break down. This time, however, it went very well, with the dancers seeming to have no trouble at all.
