Circle: male on left, female on right A1; right hand turn partner to place, dance(walk) on to next person(males anti clockwise females clock wise) left hand turn this person to new place A2; dance on cross hand turn next, do si do next B1; swing the next( ballroom hold) use the full 8 bars!!!!! B2; Peromenade this person -again use the full 8 bars- and face around circle a nd give right hand to start the next turn of the dance. Good lukc! I find adults b****** this up quite readilly if they're not used to dancing, kids on the other hand have no problems. Music? Originally "american" reels or "breakdowns" try polkas though them the swing could be a polka round the circle!!!! David Mills
