A1 | Circle Left - choose a new leader #1 go out to the two dancers on the right, Circle Up Three; Shoot the Owl |
A2 | #1 go across to the others two dancers, Circle Up Three; Shoot the Owl then #1 backs into their original slot in the circle All Five: Star Left (Wrist-Lock Star) |
B1 | #1 Lead a Devil’s Elbow into a Circle Left #1 lets go their left hand - everyone else keeps hold in the circle - the two people on #1's left make an arch AND STAND STILL; #1 ducks under the arch, drawing ONE person only after them through the arch; #1s passes ONE person (one of the archers) and takes their right hand over that person's head; #1 reconnects to the only spare hand available (the one they let go at the beginning of the move) - you should now have an Inside Basket - a perfect Lock with the hands - looking like the Lock that Sword-Dancers make - put your right foot in the middle: |
B2 | Spin the Basket - open into a Circle |
