Hello,

Last night we managed to get through a shortened version of Westerhope, to be danced out on Friday. I've attached my notes on the dance; the order is still subject to change, but you can read through the figures.

For Friday the dance will be:

Walk on in a line, step for 8

Walk around and Turn Out (single guard in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Lock, step for 8, break out in walk around fashion

Coach and horses, immediately into Double Cramper (1, 2, 4, & 5 step while 3 walks around, 3 steps while the rest do a mini curly, repeat)

Lock, step, break

Coach and Horses, immediately into either Tipping Guard (3 moves forward, jumps over 5's sword and tumbles), or Jigging Guard (like Stand in Guard, but with no tumble)

Lock, step, break

Coach and horses, immediately into Right and Left (3x curleys, then 3x figure of 8)

Walk around, Back Lock on 4, 1 takes lock & display in line, break the lock

Coach and Horses immediately into modified Fourth Corner (1 & 5 jump, then 3 jumps)

Lock

3 takes lock to display in line, step for 8 until 'out' is called, grin widely in relief, march off after 8 bars as usual

Have a good week,

Sinéad
