The A part should be danced in a continuously flowing movement without strict adherence to
the barring.

In the Exwood hey’ the ones move anticlockwise round the set in a series of loops, the first
and third loop being three-quarters loops to the left and the second and fourth being whole
loops to the right. The second woman and the third man also move anticlockwise round the
set effectively following the first man and woman respectively; the second man and third
woman move clockwise round the set.

Each second and third couple dancer will be facing ‘the wrong way’ at the end of the second
and fourth half heys and will need to do a little loop in the logical direction (second woma
and third man right, third woman and second man left). 

In the gypsy (B2, 5-8) the ones meet as if about to do a back to back and immediately do a
tight gypsy to spiral out onto the wrong side of the set so that in the last two bars all cross
together to the right side.
