+=======  STARTERS ORDERS ======
+Dance and Music by Colin Hume.\\
+Longways, couple facing couple: one very wide set.\\
+Tune: STARTERS ORDERS
+<code>
+Al  Ballroom hold, galop across 8 steps, men passing back to back. Galop back,
+    ladies back to back.
+A2  Lines 4 steps forward to meet; balance right and left. Do-si-do opposite
+    (swing if cold).
+B: Right-hand star. Left-hand star.
+C: Lines lead away 4 steps; balance right and left. Do-si-do partner (swing if still cold).</code>
+At this point people complain that they haven't progressed. All you do is start again, dancing
+with the couple diagonally to your left. The neutral couples (top couple on the men's side,
+bottom couple on the ladies' side) join in the first galop across and then stay there.
+Written for the Beckenham and Croydon Folk Dance Club on the occasion of a dance following a ramble
+in the depths of winter. Something to warm the dancers up at the start of an evening, before there
+are too many people for a single longways set.
