Windlass hey

  • First corners cast over their left shoulders with two open side steps to face each other in the center on opposite sides, hopback to corner position.
  • Meanwhile, second corners do 2 open side step up to their left, around the first corner to end facing out on the second corner diagonal, hopback to their original place.
  • Repeat all.

Note, second corners do the same track both times, just around a different person.

Chorus

  • All turning right shoulder into the center to face clockwise around the set,
  • 8 open side steps:
    • Right side step into center shoulder to shoulder, shift 90° on the hop
    • and left side step out to progressed position (1 position clockwise around set).
    • Eight will get everyone back home.
  • Two fourie capers forward around set (keep the circle big),

  • Ends with 4 plain capers instead of the galley, turning over your right shoulder to face out on the diagonal
