Music: “Danses Popularies Francaises” (Broadside Band); “Grimstock” (Incantare); “Nightcap” (Bare Necessities); “The Pride and Prejudice Collection …” (Pemberly Players).

Note:  * The original says single hey on both sides with the first couple crossing over and back as indicated.  It comes to exactly the same thing as a crossover mirror double hey

**We usually dance this with all couples crossing over, that is whenever you are at an end, you cross between the opposite gender people on the other side toward the corners
