Difficulty: 2
Style: English
| A1: | In fours, circle left; do-si-do partner. |
| A2: | Right-hand star; do-si-do person opposite. |
| B1: | Take 2 hands with opposite person. Each linked couple goes 8 steps around either the inner or the outer circle, the women pushing and steering and the men trusting and hoping. Then swing, finishing with man on left. |
| B2: | Back the other way, women still steering, men still trusting. Swing own partner and turn to face new couple. |
The steering is hard to explain, hence difficulty = 2.
Music: 32-bar jigs or reels
