\nUsage:<\/span> The OXO Reel is a challenging dance because each couple is dancing a different part depending on where they are located within the set. Because there are only six couples, and the groups of four dancers are kept together, this version is a good dance for introducing the duple concept. This dance is one of several OXO Reels. Also see OXO Alternate. <\/p>\n
