Tune: The Rose (traditional) Source: traditional Chorus: two half heys, but with galleys (in toward the center) at the end of each sequence instead of hop-backs. Figures: once to yourself, foot up & down, half gyp, back-to-back, rounds & all up.
Chorus: two half heys, but with galleys (in toward the center) at the end of each sequence instead of hop-backs.
Hankie dances: stand in position, trying not to look stupid. Five beats before the end of the tune, bring the hankies up to chest-level and rise onto your toes. Then two hop backs and a foot-together-jump. Stick dances: stand in position, trying not to look stupid. Two beats before the end of the tune, do a foot-together-jump.
On the catch-step (“and”) before the downbeat, hop into a circle and face clockwise. Middles will need to move outwards (“bulge”). One double step around the circle (clockwise). On the second double step spiral into a clump, ending halfway around the circle but closer to the center. Hop backs to your corner's place (halfway around the circle). Foot-together-jump. On the catch-step (“and”) before the downbeat, all dancers turn a little more than 180° over their left shoulders (“hard turn”) and go back the way they came (counter-clockwise). Again, on the second double step spiral into a clump, ending halfway around the circle but closer to the center. Hop backs to your original place. Foot-together-jump.
Rounds as above, but using "beetle crusher" capers and a slow galley at the end.
