G'day again,

Jennie is right - the dance and tune go together. The Dance is derived from Lott ist Tod:

It starts with 4 slow steps into the circle (in the game ... checking to see is Lot is, indeed dead ...) then has 8 fast outwards (... he is! ...). After a few times through this 'check and retreat' routine, all couples engage in a free polka about the hall (usually across Jennie's feet and shins ...!).

Regards,

Bob Bolton
