"A"s
“A”s: extended form of:
- Foot up (4 stepbacks)
- Half hands
- Back-to-back
- Rounds
All hopbacks are replaced with 4 stepbacks. “A” figures are half the figure with 4 stepbacks, 2 double-steps in place facing partner, galley; repeat for other half of figure. (Galleys are right, left, except for foot-up is galley down, for foot-down is galley up.)
Foot-up & down each start on the inside foot (as is the rule for extended figure dances, the opposite of most dances; however, other “A” figures are not different here.)
"B"s
“B”s are:
- side-double to the left (side-step, double-step)
- side step to the right
- foot-together-jump
- half hey
Repeat that for 2nd half of chorus. End with 4 stepbacks facing up.
Hankies on stepbacks have 4 sharp side-to-side shows, one hand in front, one in back.
