We're going to start at the end of the dance: with your neighbor on the side of the set, balance and swing. End facing across and stay connected. Now to start the dance:

  1. A1Those on the right dance in to a long wave down the middle of the set; balance the wave. Those in the wave, dance back out while those on the sides of the set dance in to form their own long wave down the middle of the set and balance that wave.
  2. A2Those in the wave, let go of right hands and allemande left ¾, then pass neighbor by the right. Those who have been standing on the side, cross the set by passing left shoulders to reach your partner, and swing.
  3. B1Circle left 3 places; do-si-do your neighbor.
  4. B2Neighbor balance and swing.
