Scottish Country Dance Instruction

9-16 Right hands across in a wheel and back with the left hand.
17-24 The two couples dance rights and lefts. Men face out, omitting the polite turn at the end of bar 24.
25-26 The two ladies change places giving right hands in passing. Meanwhile the two men cross passing their partners by the left and cast anticlockwise to finish in each other's place, facing own partner.
27-28 Each couple changes place with own partner by turning half way with the left hand.
29-32 Bars 25-28 are repeated with the next couple round the circle to progress one more place.
Repeat from new places.
