Dance Figures
Ladies' Chain
Generally this starts with couples on opposite sides of the set, man on the left. It can also happen in a square set where the starting arrangement is more natural.
| Start | Face the person opposite. |
| 1-2 | Ladies cross giving right hand while the men cast to meet the lady coming across. |
| 3-4 | Men and ladies turn left hand on the side to put the man back on the left. This is half a ladies' chain, which is sometimes performed on its own. |
| 5-8 | Repeat, bringing partners back alongside one another. |
