+ | <code> | ||
+ | Al Ballroom hold, galop across 8 steps, men passing back to back. Galop back, | ||
+ | ladies back to back. | ||
+ | A2 Lines 4 steps forward to meet; balance right and left. Do-si-do opposite | ||
+ | (swing if cold). | ||
+ | B: Right-hand star. Left-hand star. | ||
+ | C: Lines lead away 4 steps; balance right and left. Do-si-do partner (swing if still cold).</code> | ||
+ | At this point people complain that they haven't progressed. All you do is start again, dancing | ||
+ | with the couple diagonally to your left. The neutral couples (top couple on the men's side, | ||
+ | bottom couple on the ladies' side) join in the first galop across and then stay there. | ||
+ | Written for the Beckenham and Croydon Folk Dance Club on the occasion of a dance following a ramble | ||
+ | in the depths of winter. Something to warm the dancers up at the start of an evening, before there | ||
+ | are too many people for a single longways set. | ||
