Author: Pat Shaw5 couples arranged in a horseshoe: head couple faces down, with two couples each side facing across
Difficulty: 4
Style: English
A1: | Sides half right and left through; heads lead down the middle to the centre of the set; sides half right and left back; heads lead to end of set (4 steps to each of those). |
A2: | Sides circle 4 once round to the left while heads separate and cast back to place. All do-si-do (8 steps for each of those). |
B1: | All five ladies' chain; repeat. (Each woman moves on two places on each half of the chain.) |
B2: | All take promenade hold and promenade new partner one place anti-clockwise (4 steps). Balance once. All swing. |
Keep the set compact, especially during the do-si-do, or the women will have a long way to go to get into the chain. Men should definitely help the women through the chain by stepping forward to claim them.
