by Colin Hume 1991, duple proper longways
Tune: Elizabeth
A 1-4 1's set to each other, then 2 hand turn halfway
5-8 neighbors set, then 2 hand turn halfway
B 1-4 partners back to back
5-8 circle left halfway, balance the circle,
fall back with neighbor
C 1-4 men lead ladies into an open ladies chain;
men cast left while ladies turn by right
halfway, meet partners by left and turn once around
5-8 repeat to finish chain
D 1-4 1's pass through by right and cast down,
2's start 1/2 figure 8 above as soon as 1's are clear
5-8 1's do 1/2 figure 8 above while 2's meet in the
center and lead up
The tune is a waltz so each bar has 3 beats.
We like to do it with smooth waltz steps.
