CHESHIRE ROUNDS Playford, 1701, Bolton (Retreads, vol 8) Blue Barnes p. 19. 3/2, key D, longways duple minor. A1 1-4: The first lady casts down behind her neighbour, crosses the set, and moves into her partners place. The first man follows her, but cuts up between the second couple, and moves into her place. (12 steps - and that's lady round two and the man cuts through.) A2 1-4: Same deal, but M2 casts up and moves round and W2 follows him. (Improper but unprogressed.) B1: 1-4: 1s cross Right and move down as 2s two-hand turn halfway on the spot and lead up (six counts); all two hand turn partner in progressed places (six counts). B2: 1-4: Four changes of rights and lefts, starting partner, with hands; 3 steps per change. ---------------------- Cheshire Rounds Neal, 1726 3/2, D duple minor longways, Barnes 1 Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lte3LiXo_Wg A1 1-4 1s chase CW around the 2s, the leader going all the way around both 2s and the follower cutting between the 2s, to end in each otherâs places. A2 1-4 2s chase CW around 1s, as above. All are improper. B1 1-2 1s cross and go below as 2s 2H turn 1/2 and then lead up. 3-4 Partners 2H turn P 1x. B2 1-4 4 changes of Rs and Ls. Kalia's note: My preference is for the B1 sequence for the 2s to be cleanly punctuated - turn, lead up, turn again
