| Start off the stage / in the audience in two lines, facing the centre:
|
|
|
| Lead on
|
|---|
| 1-4 | 2 dances on into place (see below).
|
| 5-8 | 1 dances on.
|
| 9-12 | 3 dances on.
|
| 13-16 | 4 dances on.
|
| The set should now be in a line, facing to the
sides in alternate directions:
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
| 1-2 | Stand still.
|
| 3-4 | Stamp
step in place.
|
| 5-6 | Drop step.
|
| 7-8 | Single step on the spot.
|
| 9-10 | Turn 360 degrees clockwise (to the right) on the spot.
|
| 11-12 | Beats 11-16 are a half hey for 4, rotating
clockwise halfway at the same time, and therefore finishing back in
place.
Start by changing places at the ends, passing right
shoulders, and forming a new line on the diagonal.
This bit is quite fast for 1 and 3.
|
|
|
| 13-14 | Continue the hey, middles switching
passing left shoulders, and ends (1 and 3) moving round the outside a
little to form a horizontal line.
This bit is quite slow for 1 and 3 this time.
|
|
|
| 13-14 | Continue, changing places right
shoulders at each end, to form a diagonal line.
|
|
|
| 15-16 | Finish the hey, middles passing left
shoulders and finishing in starting places.

|
| Figure 1: | Cogwheels (Elbows)
|
|---|
| The phrasing of this figure is a lot like the
last figure of Darga's Grandson, and the
important thing is to show off nice straight lines on the different
axes.
|
| 1 | Partners right arm turn halfway.
|
| 2 | Form line of 4, middles taking left arm hold as well.
|
| 3 | Ends chase one quarter round the outside.
Middles left arm turn three quarters to meet them.
|
| 4 | Form a new line of 4 on the other axis, middles taking right hold with their partner.
|
|
|
| 5-16 | Repeat three more times to get home.
|
|
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
|
|
| Figure 2: | Governor Balls (Stomachs)
|
|---|
| 1-4 | Saluting
stomach turn right once and a half.
You need to start moving immediately – don't wait until you've saluted.
|
| 5-8 | Middles saluting
stomach turn left once and a half while ends chase round the
outside of the set halfway to meet their partner again.
|
|
|
| 9-16 | Repeat from new positions to get back home.
|
|
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
|
|
| Figure 3: | Series Linkage (Pull By Up & Down)
|
|---|
| Top Tip: "Ends left, Middles right".
|
| 1-2 | Half
stomach turn to wrist hold with your partner to face along the line.
|
| 3-8 | Pull by
right with your partner.
Ends loop round to the left, pass one another left shoulder and end up in
the middle of a line across; middles pass one another right shoulder, loop round
to the right, and end on the ends of the line of 4 across.
|
|
|
| 9-16 | Repeat from new positions on new axis.
|
|
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
|
|
| Figure 4: | Parallel Linkage (Pull By Across)
|
|---|
| 1-2 | Quarter
stomach turn to wrist hold with your partner to face across the
set (other way from the previous figure).
|
| 3-8 | Pull by
right with your partner out dance out to the sides, then cast away
from the person beside you, loop round to the nearer end to meet your
partner, and come in facing up and down in a square.
|
|
|
| 9-16 | Repeat 1-8 with someone else on the
other axis, but with a half stomach turn to start.
Finish right shoulder to right shoulder with your partner back in line.
|
|
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
|
|
| Figure 5: | Schiehallion Reel
|
|---|
| 1-4 | Everyone pass right shoulders with the
person you're facing.
Ends bend to the right one quarter, effectively passing each other
left shoulder, lead out on the next axis and loop over their right
shoulder to face back in.
Middles loop over their right shoulder to face back in, then bend to
the right one quarter to face their partner again in the middle of a
line on the new axis.
|
|
|
| 5-16 | Repeat three more times to get home.
|
|
|
|
|
| Chorus
|
|---|
| Finish with a hoy,
facing in alternate directions as normal.
