Huntington's Maggot is an English Country Dance and published by Playford in 1695. It was interpreted by Bernard Bentley in 1971. It is a proper duple minor longways dance. The tune was published with the dance. It was performed by Bare Necessities (Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Peter Barnes, and Jacqueline Schwab) on the album “Strong Roots“. It is used with permission of Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, Inc. The animation plays at 103 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.
