Longways for as many as will

<code>
A1	1–2	First man and first woman change places, 
                turning single as they do so. (optional if prone to dizziness)
        3–8	They set to one another and cast off into second place, 
                second couple moving up into first place.
A2	1–8	The second couple does the same.
B	1–4	First and second couples right-hands-across (skip).
        5–8	First and second couples left-hands-across (skip).
C	1–4	Active couple half figure 8 down (i.e., a "hook"), skipping,
                Clap as they cross, jumping, and cast below while second 
                couple move up turning to place.

**The Round** suggests (though this seems less workable)
<code> 
C	1–4	First man crosses over, passes clockwise round second woman 
                and returns to the same place, jumping on the second beat  
                of the fourth bar; while the first woman crosses over, 
                passes counter-clockwise round second man and returns to place, 
                jumping on the second beat of the fourth bar.
        5–8	First man and first woman cast off into the second place, 
                turn each other half-way round and change places, second 
                couple leading up into first place and turning in like manner 
                (progressive).
