Comments: In each round of this dance you dance with three neighbors: your next neighbor (in Al), your previous one (in A2) and your own neighbors (in B1).

In Al, 5-8, if there is no neighbor next to you, lead your partner away from the set, those at the top up, those at the bottom down. Neutrals should change sides after they have led their neighbors out in the A-part.

Tune called “Duke of Buckingham”
