English description

Longways

Style: English

Longways duple proper

A: Bars 1-4: 1st man and 2nd woman right forearm swing.

A: Bars 5-8: 2nd man and 1st woman ditto.

B: Bars 1-4: 1s chassay or lead down set 2 steps and back; cast down round 2s.

B: Bars 5-8: All swing (cross-hand hold).

I say "Cross-hand swing" because it's quick to say, but what I recommend is a right forearm hold (as in A) and then left hands joined above (or below) - it's more controlled than a cross-hand swing.

Make sure people don't dig their thumbs in with a forearm hold!

Music

16-bar scottisches or hornpipes (e.g. a 32-bar hornpipe played without the usual repeats).
