It's Saturady Night Lets dance.Virginia Reel
Two lines facing each other. Men on the callers right, Lady's on the callers left. The line should be about four feet apart. Gentleman, the Lady you are facing is your partner. Remember gentleman, when dancing with a Lady a gentle touch is proper. Lets walk through the steps:
Up to the center and back (Backup) (4 beats in and 4 beats back)
Right arm around (Elbow to elbow) (8 beats all the way around)
Back by the left (8beats all the way around)
Doe-Se-Doe your partner (Right shoulder to Right shoulder) (8 beats all the way around)
Head couple.. cross over and right arm (Elbow to Elbow) around the next in line.
Back to the center, left arm around your partner.
Right arm around the next person in line, then back to the center and left arm around your partner. (Continue this all the way down the line.)
At the end of the line the head couple sashays back down the center, and "Peels Off" at the head of the line. (Men turn left and women turns right)
March down the outside of the line with the entire line following.
At the top of the line the head couple makes an arch each couple holds hand goes under the Arch and marches down to the head of the line.
The couple making the Arch remains at the end of the line. We now have a new head couple and the dance starts over again.
Note: because the marching may not keep in sink with the music the dance may have to wait for the caller to start the next cycle.
