Trip to the Mills
(Molengang)
Dance by Han Kindt published posthumously in “Han Kindt Quartet”,
Music: Daar bi die molen (A-music played as jig, B-music as reel).
Formation: Sicilian circle.
Walking step most of the time.
Tune: Trip to the Mills
A1 1-4 Taking inside hand with partner, all go four slips diagonally right and four slips diagonally left to back to back with original opposite couple. 5-8 With new opposite couple three changes of a circular hey opposites facing, finish facing original opposite couple but facing in the opposite direction to that in which you started. A2 1-8 Repeat all that in this direction to finish home. B1 1-4 Right hands across half way with original opposite couple,: left hand across half way with the next couple, 5-8 With the third couple right hands across all the way round. B2 1-4 With the second couple left hands across half way, with original opposite couple right hands across half way (all home). 5-8 Left hands across all the way with the co originally behind you (you met them in A2) and at the end pass original opposite left shoulders to face new couple (the “second couple”) for the next round of the dance.
The hands across figure should be a continuous movement: use your hands but don’t make them too obvious.
