   5-8 Neighbors face, three changes of a circular hey for four,
       finishing with end couples facing partners and middles
       facing same sex corners in the middle. 
B2 1-4 Set right and left and cross as in “Hole in the Wall” (the
       middle four do “clumps”™).
   5-8 Partners two hand turn once round.
         The dance is repeated three times.

* Ease out: a small movement to connect the next figure with the figure just done in the easiest way.
* Clumps: a “Hole in the Wall” crossing for four dancers: all go half way round a small close circle (clockwise) and back away to opposite places.
The title of the dance spoken in Dutch sounds like the name of a popular Dutch caller, Fien Daamen, to whom the dance is dedicated.
