Money for Old Rope Format: Longways duple minor, Twos improper Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2019 Meter: 2/2 Key: C https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/~winston/mydances/money_for_old_rope.pdf For gender-free, M=1st corners, W = 2nd corner. A: Men (1st corners) pass left shoulder: three changes of a reel of four (until you meet your neighbour). Two-hand turn neighbour 1.25 on the side, finishing with the man (original first corner) on the left. B: Circle left .75 to finish on the side with partner, then change hands. Partners lead out a double; change hands and lead back. C Cross right shoulder with opposite, go well out, then a big loop left to come back in (8 steps in all). Right-hand star .75 and fall back slightly from partner (just one step and together, without taking hands with neighbour.) D: (Partners star) Four changes of rights and lefts with hands (no polite turn!) and frst corners are ready to pass left shoulder with the next corner. In the walkthrough it helps to start with the ladies (2nd corners) stepping back and left so that the track of the opening reel is clearer. Don't let people rush any of the moves; the whole dance is designed to flow from one figure to the next.
