N.B. — It is suggested that the dance be concluded with a repetition of the First Part.
Note: This text is from a later edition. In the first edition the note about repeating the first part was not present.
With a large number of dancers EFDS practice was to make multiple concentric rings, with the outermost one slipping clockwise and then anticlockwise to start, but the next ring in anticlockwise and then clockwise, the next one back to clockwise then anticlockwise etc.
