THE DASHING WHITE PRIVATES

A DANCE FROM THE VILLAGE OF ST JUST-NEAR-TRUNCH



Tune - Any 48 bar jig with stops.

Formation - 4 couples longwise.


Figure 1      STARS

       Right hand star (4 bars)

       Left hand star (4 bars)

       Both hand star (8 bars)

(This represents a couple meeting and getting to know each other)



Figure 2      CROMER PROMENADE (8 bars)

       Double cast, in Cromer promenade hold (both partners hug each other, and shuffle along as best they can).

(This represents the couple going back to her place for a bit)



Figure 3      DO-SHE-DO OR DO-SHE DON'T? (8 bars)

       Pass right sides, return right sides (Do she don't)

       Pass right sides, return left sides (Do she do)

(This represents her playing hard to get, but he gets round her in the end)



Figure 4      BACKWARDS & FORE (8 bars)

       End Do She Do holding hands along row, close together.

       Four steps back and four steps forward, twice.

       On second occasion as lines come together they cry "Oh!"

(This represents them getting to know each other a lot better, till her parents come into the room and surprise them)



Figure 5      WINDOW SILL (8 bars)

       Top couple form a window sill, and all the others jump over it and cast.

       The bottom couple, however, have to go off and join the top of another set.

(They are now a loose man and a loose woman, and must run away from home)



Now do it all over again.
