Siding

Men come to center and create arches for their partners to go under (ladies to their partner’s left) and around them, the ladies taking the men by both hands to turn back to place; then the ladies do likewise

Arming

First couple leads up middle past the others and under the arch of the couples on the left, turn and all four circle once; drop hands and first couple continue to the couple at the right while the couple at the left takes their old place at the bottom of the set; the first couple goes through the arch of the second couple, turns and all four take hands and circle once then the couple to the right moves to the place of the couple previously to the left and the first couple takes the place of the couple to the right and all are progressed so the dance can be done twice again with each couple having their turn as first couple
