| Hockley in the Hole | |
| for a line of as many couples as will. | |
| Reconstructed by Dafydd Cyhoeddwr. | |
| This is a non-standard progressive (?) dance that primarily involves only the first and last couples, though the final part of the dance shuffles the lead couple to the bottom, making for a new lead couple. | |
| It may be that the dance is intended to be repeated as a whole until the first couple is at the top again, though it could just be done once, giving everyone else participating a bit of a rest. | |
| The music has an A and B part, where the B part (chorus) is always setting and turning twice. The music is played through 5 times for one repeat of the whole dance. | |
| Music: | Stuart Age Music - Tunes from a Troubled Age by Sirinu - part of a medley, not enough repeats |
