A line dance for 3 couples, facing the front of the hall. This reconstruction is by Roz Howie.

Note that you keep the same number throughout this dance, no matter where you are. So, if you start in the position of man 1, you are always man 1 until the end of the dance.

Chorus 3

1 - 2

Men slip up the line and Women slip down the line

3 - 8

Man 3 gives his right hand to woman 1, then continues the hey down the set, the others following. This differs from a normal hey however in that as soon as the men find themselves giving hands to their own partner, they then turn their partner into her place so that everyone ends up back in their original place in the dance. So this time through, Man 3 will hey with woman 1 and 2 then take his own partner by the hand and turn her into her place. Man 2 will hey with woman 1 then take his own partner by the hand and turn her into her place, and man 1 will only take hands with his own partner and turn her into her place.

Men slip up the line and Women slip down the line

Man 3 and Woman 1 take right hands and begin a hey back to place, others following
