(There are many videos for this dance on the Lambertsville ECD video list,
but this one shows how precise set alignment avoids jerky and frantic
dancing.)
Longways duple minor
A1 1-4 1st and 2nd single file circle L (2 doubles - half way round) 5-8 Turn to centre and meet, then turn out single left , Clapping once on 2nd beat of bar 8 A2 1-4 1st and 2nd single file circle R (2 doubles - half way round) 5-8 Turn to centre and meet, then turn out single right, Clapping once on 2nd beat of bar 8 B1 1-4 1st couple short cast down, 2nds leading up Partners set R & L 5-8 Partners facing, rights and lefts, 2 changes with hands, finishing close, improper. B2 1-4 Partners fall back 2 setting steps, then cross over passing right shoulders, then turn right (loop) to face in original places 5-8 1st couple, RH turn moving down into 2nd place as 2nd couple cast up into 1st place.
Note: As in the video, I prefer, as a couple 2, the “cross, face and cast” in part B2. Rather I prefer to cross and keep going, curving up in a wide case into place. The instructions do not require one to face and cast, which incurs a rather dizzying twirl. — nashjc 2019/04/14 17:05
