| for a line of as many couples as will | |
| This dance really shouldn't be done by more than 4 couples - 3 works reasonably well. | |
| Reconstructed by Master Trahaearn ap Ieuan (in the proceedings of KWDS4) | |
| Music: | This dance needs 2 repeats of the music for every couple in line. Don't have any recordings with 6 or 8 repeats, though. |
| Part 1 | |
| Verse 1, Part A | |
| 1: | Up a double. |
| 2: | Back a double. |
| Verse 1, Part B | |
| 1&2: | That again. |
| Verse 1, Part C | |
| 1: | Men face up the hall, women face down, double forward. |
| 2: | Double back. |
| Verse 1, Part D | |
| 1&2: | Set and turn single (left). |
| Verse 1, Part E | |
| 1&2: | Set and turn single (right). |
| Chorus 1, Part A | |
| 1&2: | Man 1 takes two doubles to go stand in front of the last woman in line. |
| Chorus 1, Part B | |
| 1&2: | Man 1 and the last woman side left. |
| Chorus 1, Part C | |
| 1: | Man 1 and the last woman take left hands. |
| 2: | Man 1 and the last woman now take right hands (both hands are held). |
| Chorus 1, Part D | |
| 1: | Man 1 and the last woman change places, and do a quick bow. |
| 2: | Man 1 and the last woman change places back, and do a quick bow. |
| Chorus 1, Part E | |
| 1&2: | Man 1 take the last woman forward two doubles and installs her in his partner's place, the other women moving down the line as he does this. |
| Do all of the above (all of Part 1) until the original 1st woman is back in the top position. | |
| This is a pretty boring dance for the other two men. Also, the distance traveled by man 1 to get to the bottom of the line is the indication of how many couples can reasonably do this dance (that, and the number of repeats of the music you have). | |
