Throughout this dance the leading couples are improper. Partners on reaching the top or bottom of the Set must therefore remember to change places. | ||
A | 1–4 | The first couple being improper, first man and second woman turn once-and-a-half round and change places; while second man and first woman do the same. |
5–8 | First and second men cross over and change places with their partners, and then, turning their partners half-way round, fall back to the same places. | |
B1 | 1–2 | First couple leads up to the top; while second man and second woman cast down into the second place. |
3–6 | Circular-hey, three changes, partners facing (progressive; improper). | |
B2 | 1–6 | First woman and first man cross between second man and second woman and pass, the first woman clockwise round second woman, the first man counter-clockwise round second man, meet, turn half-way round and fall back to places. |
