The rest of this dance is done in the usual way, except that partners, upon reaching the bottom of the Set, change places while they are neutral. Partners, upon reaching the top of the Set, remain neutral for one round (16 bars), and then cross over as first man and first woman did in A3 | ||
All, therefore, will go down the dance on the wrong side, and come up on the proper side | ||
