Choreography by:<\/span> Ken Kernen (see Background below)
\nSource:<\/span> Printed in Dancing For Busy People<\/span>, page 216
\nUsage:<\/span> The tricky part of this dance is the three-hand star section. It will require a careful walk through.
\nBackground:<\/span> “Mason’s Apron” is a traditional reel. The two stars give a hint of the much more complicated Scottish Country Dance by the same name. <\/p>\n

This facing trio by Ken Kernen is a simplification of a Scottish Country dance by the same name. It uses “Circle Six”, “Ends Dosado”, and “Centers Star Right with their right-hand two, then Star Left with their left-hand two”.
