Virginia Reel Square
Square Set (no partner change)
A1
- First couple go the the threes and swing the opposite, end the swing by backing
into side lines
- note that this puts the ones as far from home as possible
A2
- Lines go forward and back
- Ones turn partner right, turn next on side left (the one they swung)
B1
- Ones turn partner right one and a half
- turn next left, turn partner right one and a half
B2
- ..., All allemande corner left
- swing partner at home place
Note the right one and a half turns are to set up for left turns with the opposite
sex; the timing is approximate, but in principle 4 steps for single turns and 8
steps for one and a half turns.
