<!--Dance description, historical notes, and general information goes here-->
===Stepping===
6 single steps with relaxed arm swings, 1 double step with show up (as in Fieldtown)
===Figures===
* '''Dance on''' - start in line of 12 off stage
** Dance straight onstage in 2 sequences of stepping.
* '''Windmill'''
** At start of phrase, front 3 dancers pivot as a unit to form a windmill arm at 3 o'clock (1 on outside, 3 in center)
** Next 3 dancers move straight up to 12 o'clock
** Next three pivot as a unit to form the 9 0'clock arm (dancer 7 in center, 9 on outside)
** Last 3 dancers move straight up to form 6 o'clock arm
** That takes one sequence of stepping and all face clockwise
** Rotate the windmill using one sequence of stepping to move 1/4 around. Finishes with original first 3 at 12 o'clock
* '''Squares'''
** All dance forward for one sequence to edge of an imaginary square, outside person at the corner of the square.
** All turn right 90 degrees and dance along the side of the square to the opposite corner
** All turn right and dance forward to reform the windmill in one sequence. Everyone is halfway around the set from starting position
** Continue dancing forward to opposite edge of square
** Turn right, dance along the edge
** Turn right, dance forward to reform the windmill back in starting postion
* '''Reel''' - hey for 12 down each arm and up the next clockwise around
** Outsides face in, middles and centers face out in radial lines of 3. Start a right shoulder hey for 3
** When the outside person reaches the center, instead of turning back up the line, they cross to the bottom of the next arm clockwise around the set
** This can be thought of as a right shoulder pass with the other 4 dancers coming down their lines which is followed by a left shoulder pass up the next line
** Each dancer in turn will cross to the next set as they come to the center.
** Each pass takes one single step. At the end of 6 single steps, original outside people are facing in at the end of the next arm clockwise around
** Middle people are facing the outside people one arm around,
** while original centers are back in their starting positon ready to cross over to the next arm on the next single step
** Everyone does the end of sequence double step on the spot (ideally, in practice people are usually still trying to get to position)
** Repeat 3 more times moving to each arm in turn to finish in original arm
* '''Rounds and Stars'''
** At end of reel, outside dancers start a large clockwise circle. Middle and center dancers continue up the arm, turn right 90 degrees and fall in behind
** Circle around until end of second stepping sequence (8 bars).
** Front of each group of 3 (original outside dancers) turns over right shoulder and they dance a circle of 3 for 4 bars
** All turn over left shoulder and dance a left hand star of 3 for another 4 bars (take hands in the star)
** At the end of the phrase, whoever is tangent to the original large circle continues the circle counter clockwise, other 2 continue the star and fall in behind
* '''In and Out'''
** Circle counter clockwise for 2 stepping sequences (that includes the time to form the circle)
** All face in and advance slowly into center. Show and whoop on the double step
** All slowly back out to original circle
** Repeat all that except do a foot together jump with 180 degree spin right to finish facing out with a show
===Dance off (optional)===
* 2 people at head of set (decided during the in and out as this is somewhat indeterminate) dance away from each other around the outside of the circle
* Everyone else dancers towards the head of the set and follows. The 2 people at the bottom of the set split to go opposite directions
* Front 2 people circle around and cross through the center followed by everyone else.
* This produces a figure 8 pattern will alternate sides crossing through the middle
* After some amount of time, #1 leads off and everyone else follows
===Variation for 16===
* All figures are done in groups of 4 instead of 3.
* For the reel, the outermost person does not participate in the reel but dances 1/4 around clockwise each sequence to meet their line which has moved
===Notes===
===Music===
