Square set
4x32 jig, written to fit the extract from the theme tune of "Pirates of the Carribean" below.
A1: Head couples advance and retire
Head men pass LS to start half a reel of 4 up and down
A2: Side couples give RH to partner and balance, while head men turn 3/4 LH and head ladies chase 1/4 CW round the outside
RH star half way on each side to put the head ladies into the middle, move the head men out, and swap the side couples with their partners.
Original side couples give RH to opposite and balance, while head ladies turn 3/4 LH and head men chase 1/4 CW around the outside
RH star half way at top and at bottom, to put head men in and head ladies out.
B1: Repeat A2 from new positions
B2: Balance and swing partner (head couples have changed places).
The second and fourth times through the dance the side couples lead.
