In B1 the top couple chasée down the center to the bottom while the bottom couple individually chasée up the outside to the top. The roles are then reversed with the tops (now at the bottom) coming up the outside and the bottoms (now at the top) going down the center.

Another dance written in the 1970s. I originally did this to jigs and it was called Peeping Tom (after the famous ceilidh band of that name). I discovered that other callers were starting to call it so, not realizing that I should be proud of this, I changed the rhythm and the name.
