====== Skipping Det ====== Philippe Callens 1993 \\ Longways for 3 couples \\ Tune: Planxty Irwin\\ Al 1-4 Joining hands in lines, all move forward a double to meet and fall back a double. 5-8 Partners right hand turn. A2 1-8 2s, followed closely by 1s (who first lead down into second place), dance a figure eight through the 3s (skipping step suggested); 2s end in top place, 1s in middle place. B1 1-8 Full Morris hey: top and bottom couples start by casting, with the 1s in middle place following the 2s who are above them (skipping step suggested). B2 1-2 All turn single: top two couples up and bottom couple down. 3-4 Partners set. 5-8 Bottom man cast up into top place followed by other men, while top woman cast down into bottom place followed by the other women, thus inverting the set. Repeat 2 more times. The progression is 3 - 1 - 2.
