Goathland Square Eight
Formation: SquareDifficulty: 1
Style: English
| A1: | Circle left (stepping). Circle right. |
| A2: | Threes arch, heads cross; fours arch, sides cross. Ones arch, heads cross back; twos arch, sides cross back. |
| B1: | Grand chain half-way. Swing. |
| B2: | That again. |
Can also be danced to rants. This is a dance which needs to be danced, not walked. In particular the arching in A2 is very quick, and I suggest you don't do a California twirl after crossing, just turn back to face into the set.
There are several YouTube videos, none of which do the dance as notated above!
Music: 32-bar polkas, eg Girl with Blue Dress On, or jigs
