Goddesses

 


Starting position

A line dance for as many couples as will, although it works best for 4 couples, and it will be described for a set of 4 couples, as shown in the figure.

 


Casting off

Between each set, everyone will cast off to reverse the line and cast off at the bottom of the line to return to place, as shown in the drawing below. The couple at the head of the line casts off, ending in the last couple’s position. The other couples follow them, travelling to the head of the line and casting off, ending in the opposite couple’s position (i.e. couple 2 ends in position 3). The figure is then repeated in reverse, with the same couple casting off from the bottom of the line and other couples following.

Each figure, including the casting, takes 16 beats.
