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.

This dance is great fun and may be best suited to fairly experienced dancers as there is no pause for forgiveness in the heys and casts
