Maybe written by Steve Schnurr


Start by choosing the first person to be Jack (the shortest/tallest dancer?)

A1: All five do left-hand star for 8 steps; then Jack promenades back
    round the other way while the rest continue to star left 
    (Call: "Jack go back")
 
A2: Jack swings someone - anyone, same or different sex for 8 beats while
    the remaining three people form into a line.. (Call: "Swing somebody Jack")
    Jack and the swung person end the swing in a line of two facing the line of
    three. (8) 

    The line of two and the line of three go forward and back ("Two and
    Three go forward and back"). (8)

B1: "New Jack Do Si Do." The new Jack is in the middle of the line of 3.
    All make a circle, with all facing in except Jack, who faces out 
    crossing his or her arms. With her high hand, Jack makes an arch, with the 
    low hand she pulls two people into the center of the circle. 
    The people on the inside then arch around the outside people to form a 
    five person basket (8) "Face out Jack, cross your wrists, arch with the 
    high and pull two people into the center with you," )

B2: Basket swing. End with breaking the basket to form the left hand star
    at the start. To end, "Break that Basket, Left Hand Star!"
