Christmas Eve Quadrille

By Tom Hinds

Square Set

A1

• Head couples half right and left through
• side couples lead out to their right and circle to head lines

A2

• Lines go forward and back; in fours half right and left through up and down the set

B1

• In those fours: a hey for four, starting by men passing right (which is awkward, but sets up for...) men complete that hey with a wide sweeping turn to move to their corner

B2

• Gypsy corner right; swing corner in the lady's place

Note that the men progress and the ladies stay put.

The dance is led by the side couples the third and fourth times through.

The author intended this to be danced to the tune "Jingle Bells"
