UP WITH THE ORANGE (Oranje Booven) orig source: Penson and Robertson's Country Dances for the year 1814 My source: Pat Shaw's "Holland as Seen in the English Country Dance" Meter: 6/8 (originally waltz; Shaw likes jig), Key G NIB Longways duple or triple Entered 04/07/2004 Original text: "The 1st and 2nd couples advance and foot it in the Centre. Then turn into places. DOwn the middle and up again __ Swing corners __ Pousette" Note that there are timing problems which may make this dance unsatisfactory as a waltz. A1: 1-2: 1s and 2s move forward to meet partners 3-4: Set or step to each other 5-8: Partners turn two hands once round A2: 1-8: Down the middle and up second place, 2s moving up. (Timing variations are possible; I think a good one would be down for four, swoopy turn to face up, lead up.) B1: 1-8: "Swing corners": It's contra-corners, right to partner, left to first corners, right to partner, left to second corners. B2: 1-8: 1s and 2s waltz or two-step (if jigging) once round each other. [In triple minor, all the threes do is engage in swing corners. In duple, swing corners goes outside the minor set and everybody has to stay awake.]
