Figures
- Foot up
- Half hands
- Back-to-back
- Rounds
Chorus
- Half hey
- Backhand low, forehand high sticking with partner (standing)
- 1 double step across passing right shoulder with partner turning right to nose to nose.
- Hopbacks to partners place.
Do not repeat back to place. Next figure is done from reversed position.
Clockwork Sticking (done after the second and fourth choruses to the C music):
- 1,4,&5 face down; #2,3,&6 face up
- Clash 8 times with a person or the air, turning left 90° after each clash except last.
- After 8 clashes middle will be facing in, ends facing out. Middles do the low high sticking from the chorus while ends do 2 plain capers turning over their right shoulder to face partner. All cross with the same double step hopback sequence as in the end of the chorus.
- Repeat sticking.
All face the same direction as before (1 down, 2 up etc). This puts ends facing in, middles out. Ends clash while middles turn around with capers. All cross back home.
Ends with half a clockwork sticking done double time, slowing to normal time for the double step and 4 plain capers at the end. Dancers will end across the set from their original starting postion.
