Circle Hornpipe
Author: Jim BillsonFormation: Big circle, men on inside
Difficulty: 1
Style: English
| A: | Give two hands to partner: 4 chassées to the man's right; 4 to the left. Two chasseés to the right, two to the left, clap: own hands together, right with partner, together, left with partner, together, cross on own chest, both with partner. |
| B: | Right-forearm turn partner twice around (step-hop). Left with the next person to the left (new partner). |
Jim Billson wrote it with the men on the outside ("just to be different", he said) but I prefer it the standard way with the men on the inside. I find this goes down well even with experienced dancers, particularly if you've just called something complicated!Music: 16-bar hornpipes
