+ | ====== THE ASTRONOMER ====== | ||
+ | Dance and Music by Colin Hume .\\ | ||
+ | Six couples longways: one, three and five improper.\\ | ||
+ | Tune: THE ASTRONOMER | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | Al Lines forward and back. Back to back partner. | ||
+ | Bl Middles right-hand star half-way; left-hand star half-way with the next. | ||
+ | Everybody right-hand star half-way with the next; turn single left. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cl In these fours, ladies cross; men cross. Circle left half-way: fall back with | ||
+ | neighbor. | ||
+ | Dl Set coming forward; turn single right. Fall back with neighbor; lead forward, the ends | ||
+ | coming in diagonally to form a circle of eight around the middles who form a circle of | ||
+ | four. | ||
+ | A2 Middles circle right, outsides circle left (slip-step) . And back again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | B2 Middles turn to their left and face out: right-hand star with the nearest pair. | ||
+ | Middles meet for a left-hand star, outsides do a two-hand turn with the other person | ||
+ | from their star, finishing back in the longways set in the positions where you were | ||
+ | before the circles. | ||
+ | |||
+ | C2 Dip and dive hey in the groups of three couples, the ends going under first (without | ||
+ | changing sides at either end). | ||
+ | D2 Start the same movement again, the ends going under first, but when the other couples | ||
+ | reach the end they separate, the first couple casting fairly tight, the next coming | ||
+ | out wider to finish well apart, and the ends finishing in the middle of the set. | ||
+ | All two-hand turn the opposite person once around, and the set has been turned through | ||
+ | 90 degrees, everyone having a new position and partner: this time the even-numbered | ||
+ | couples are improper. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Repeat the whole dance to finish back in your starting positions.</code> | ||
