Notes
1
The only difficult part of this dance is getting people to do the right-hand turn 1½
2
The original dance was published in Dancing Master Vol 1, 5th edn 1675 (-1728)
3
In this modern version I have chasnged the formation from longways single minor to a circle with the ladies standing on their partner's left. I have also interpreted the 'clapping' and I have substituted the 'chasée in & out' for the original 'lead out & in'.
