One circle, partners facing each other. Ribbons on right hand.
DANCE - WIND UP
Partners dance round each other clockwise until the end of the music.
DANCE - UNWIND
Reverse direction of dance to finish facing out and bow.
NOTES
Dancers will not get so giddy if this is danced as a series of dosido .
(4 steps forward passing right shoulders; reversing back passing left
shoulders 4 steps to place) .
A very Simple dance suitable for younger children.
A far more difficult version can be done by having 3 dancers in a
line and the middle dancer doing a Figure Eight round the 2 outside
dancers (clockwise round the right hand dancer anticlockwise round the
left hand dancer) This will give a plaited effect. Outside dancers need
to hold their ribbon gently to allow the middle ribbon to pull them
together.
An even more sophisticated version can be done with 3 dancers in a
line doing a Reel of Three (each dancer weaves up and down the line of
three, 2 of the dancers starting by passing right shoulder) This will
give a plait. Whichever version is used, the overall effect will be as
in the picture.
