[Sca-cooks] "Heart's Ease"

[Huette von Ahrens]

I beg your pardon?  Which dance are you referring
to?  Because the English Country Dance,
"Heartsease", doesn't have any patterning that is
in the shape of a flower, unless you are thinking
of a dandelion that has been bent at right
angles. :-)

The name of the dance refers to the name of the
music/song.  All of EC dances are named after
their music and not the dances.  If that were so,
then "Cuckolds All in a Row", would be a much
more interesting dance. :-)
