 +==== Chorus ====
 +
 +//Chorus #1 ("singles")//: Dancers walk across the set to their partner's place, clashing behind on beat 4, with middles bulging to end in a circle by beat 6.  #1 (who is now in position #2) winds up & clashes with #3 (in position #4), then the clash continues around the circle once per beat.  After the final clash (with dancer #2 in position #1), dancers [[dances:fieldtown:figures:galley|galley]] right and do a [[dances:fieldtown:figures:half-hey|half hey]].  Repeat with places, not faces.  (Clashing starts with dancer #2 in position #2, etc.)
 +//Chorus #2 ("doubles")//: same as chorus #1, but both first corners (in positions #2 and #5) clash on beat 1, so there are two clashes traveling around the circle.  Repeat with places, not faces, i.e., clashing starts with second corners in positions #2 and #5).
 +//Chorus #3 ("triples")//: same as chorus #1, but all three of the first triangle (dancers #1, #4 & #5 in positions #2, #4 & #6) clash on beat 1, so there are three clashes traveling around the circle. Repeat with places, not faces, i.e., clashing starts with second triangles in their home positions of #2, #4 and #6.)
 +//Chorus #4 ("double time")//: same as chorus #3, but the clashes around the circle are sped up.
