Le Capitan Reel Longways for four couples and extra at top of set Couples 1&2, 3&4 dance together Leslie Gottfrit says: I learned it from Genticorum A1. Circle L, Circle R A2. Star R, Star L, B1. Le Capitan picks a side and swings 1X with each person down that side B2. "Le Capitan" is called and everyone finds a new partner and leftover person is new Capitan (Also El Capitan per Larry Edelman, which involves some inspecting of the troops.)
