LES SALUTS
From "Step Lively 2"
("The dance comes fromm the quadrille known as the Saratoga, a five-part
dance from Isle d'Orleans near Quebec City.  The word "salut" means to greet
or to bow.)

32-bar jig


Introduction (once only)

 Slipping circle left (16 beats)
      and back to the right (16 beats)

A: All take three steps forward and pause
   All take three steps back and pause.
   All take three steps forward and bow.
    MEN step back and join hands in a circle;
        WOMEN stay where they are and join hands in a circle.
    (This needs to happen fast.)

B1:  Women slip right while men slip left. (8 beats)
     And the other way back till you find your partner (8 beats)
     On the lst two beats, men raise their joined hands over the women's
     heads and bring them down in front of their partner to form a 
     Quebecian basket.  (Arms are interleaved; nobody has an arm behind 
     their back.)

B2:  Basket turns to the left (8 beats) and back to the right (8 beats).

In repeats of the dance, the f&b in the A part are done in basket formation.
