 A1  8  Crossover mirror hey, 1's crossing
 A2  8  Crossover mirror hey, 1's crossing back 

 B1  4  1's half figure eight down through the 2's 
     4  Partners two-hand turn 
     
 B2  4  3's half figure eight up through the 2's
     4  Partners two-hand turn 
     
 C1  4  Take hands in a ring of six and step-swing right, left, right, left
     4  Gents face ladies on right Three changes of a right and left grand 
     
 C2  8  Repeat C1

 D1  4  1's cross and go down one place while the 2's move up 
     4  1's half figure eight up through the 1's 
     
 D2  4  1's and 3's dance five changes of rights and lefts, beginning with partners
     4  1's continue outside to bottom place while the 3's lead up to middle place

A rambunctious, exciting dance in three parts, full of energy and movement. Given enough space, dancers will sail through the A music, making large loops in the heys and figure eights. The C music is a complete change of pace, sounding (and feeling) more like a Russian folk dance! The finale resumes the quick pace, finishing with a nifty set of changes to progress and propel everyone into the next round from new places. A real workout, especially for the first couple in each round.
