Metro4

4x40 bar - 10 bar phrases - Jig for four couples in a four couple set
by Zoltán Gräff, 2015

Construction of the new Budapest Metro Line 4, the Metro4, started on 23 January 2006 and came to end on 28 March 2014.
I travelled on the new metro line on the first day and got off at all the 10 stations to take photos.
That was when the idea came that I should devise a Scottish dance consisting of 10-bar parts ;-)
Eventually, the dance got its final form 11 months after the opening of the Metro4.
