LE NEUF (the nine)
three rows of three facing up the hall.


Dudley Laufman says:

Another dance from Quebec:  Le Neuf.  The Nine.
 
Three any gender threes facing up the hall. All lead up the set four steps and back twice. 
 
Middle person swing right hand partner with right arm hook (crochette droit) thern swing left hand partner with left
arm hook (crochette gauche) then do that swinging part again. (Encore une fois).
 
Then, top right hand person and top left hand person, dance down the outside by themselves to stay at bottom and all
the other side persons move up a place.
 
The dance is danced unphrased, so you can use crooked French chunes.  Continue as long as you want.
