A1:1-8 | All right-hand turn partner once round (8) and hold on for a modified Grand Chain, four changes, the first two being a square through (partner right, neighbour left) in own minor-set (4), then right and left around the General Set (i.e. across the ends as well) (4). All keep the last left hand for men to put this lady into… |
A2:1-4 | Ladies'-Chain across the set to receive their own partner. |
5-8 | Men keeping left shoulders together, opposite couples promenade three-quarters round each other to face again (but along the set), and ladies flow into… |
B1:1-4 | Pothooks (back-to-backs, but falling back along other side of set), ladies left shoulders and wide, men right shoulders and narrow, so that partners change places. |
5-8 | Same fours left-hand star halfway, and (ladies turning in left) neighbours set right and left. |
B2:1-4 | Neighbours back-to-back right shoulder. |
5-8 | Partners back-to-back left shoulder, catching each other's right hand as they fall back (ready for the next Round). |
Repeat ad lib.
This can all flow like clockwork, especially if the ladies keep moving confidently forward (for 18 bars) through A1, A2 and into the pothooks.
