American dancing master, and ball-room prompter: containing about five hundred dances ... By Elias Howe .. 1862 THE HOLLY BERRY. 32-bar galops (2x 32) longways, whole set, probably shouldn't have more than eight couples, and six wouldn't be bad.) A Country Dance for all times. Arrange in two lines from the top of the room to the bottom, ladies on the left looking from the top, the gentlemen opposite. All forward and back (4 bars). All cross over (4 bars). Every two couples hands across, and back to places (8 bars). The top gallopade to the bottom of the dance--hands across, with bottom couple; the two couples at the top of the dance do likewise at the same time. The leading couple galop round the room, followed by all the rest, until they come to the bottom of the dance, ladies and gentlemen arranging themselves on their own side. The leading couple will now be at the bottom of the dance. The second couple do the same thing; and all the rest in succession do so likewise, until all have regained their respective places. The music best adapted for this dance is a galop. In advancing and retiring, use only the walking step; and for the rest the galop.--Introduced by Mrs. Henderson in London. --------------------------------------------- APW SEZ: A1: 1-4 forward and back (walking) 5-8: cross over (walking) A2: 1-8: in fours, right hand star, left hands back.
