Note: The instructions have the B section in Verse I repeating three full times. This contradicts the given steps for B2 which simply reverses B1. The steps have been modified below to always have the upper two Women switching, which gets everyone back to their original places in the indicated three full repeats.

I.

A1 1-4: Lead up a Double and fall back again.

A2 1-4: That again.

B1 1-4: Top two Women and bottom two Men fall back a Double, then cross over, changing places.
B1 5-8: 1st Man and 3rd Woman change places.

B2 1-4: Top two Women and bottom two Men fall back a Double, then cross over, changing places.
B2 5-8: The other two change places.

B3-6: Repeat two more times until all are back in your places.

II.

A1 1-4: Side Right with your Partner.

A2 1-4: Side Left with your Partner.

B2 1-4: Each side take hands and fall back and meet as before.
B2 5-8: Turn your Partner by both hands.

III.

A1 1-4: Arm Right with your Partner.
