Figure 1

The dance starts with a number of men on the floor, holding a lighted candle. Each of them dances through the hall using the following steps:

DLf DRf DLf DRf DLf DRf DLf DRf

(8 Doubles forwards, alternating Left and Right). The doubles are all done with a hop at the end.

Figure 2

At the end of Figure 1, the man should come and stop near a lady. He performs a short reverance and then dances towards her:

SLf SRf SLf SRf

(4 Singles, alternating Left and Right)

Repeat

Repeat the dance from the beginning, dancing together.

In the repeat of figure 2, use the last two of them to reverence and hand the candle over to your partner.

In the next repeat, the new holder of the candle dances off to find a new partner, and the dance can repeat from there ad infinitum.
