Have fun with this dance by making it a contra line (especially at socials) :

Section 1 walks forward and clap hands with the people opposite you
Section 3 when clapping on step 5-6 turn round over right shoulder and clap the hands of the person behind you
During section 3 when you are clapping hands you could shout out the following to make it more fun :-
1-2. To you
3-4. To me
5-6. And back
7-8. To you
Section 4 - when walking forward pass your partner's right shoulder

Many Thanks to Cathy Hodgson for her help in making this a contra dance xxxx
