Hankie dance for 8 by Randall Cayford
Figures:
- Foot up
- Half hands
- Back to back
- Rounds (top and bottom rounds in groups of 4)
Chorus:
- Ends galley over their outside shoulders moving straight back out of the set
- while middles all pass right shoulders through the center of the set & head through far end of set in 2 double steps
- Middles will finish the second double set side by side in the center of a line of 4 with the ends (1,6,5,2 and 7,4,3,8)
- Middles galley out to ends of the lines (where the other dancers where) while ends cross through the middle to new lines of 4
- Repeat with new middles galleying out to ends, new ends crossing through the center by the right shoulder
- Middles galley out and mostly on the spot to finish as the ends of a new set.
- Ends cross through the middle with 1 double step and a foot together jump turning in the air to end in what was their neighbors place.
- At the end of the chorus, everyone has traded places with their neighbor beside them so the order is 3,1,7,5 opposite 4,2,8,6
- End and middle roles will be switched for the next chorus (i.e. new middles do the middle pattern, new ends do the end pattern)
