Begin right shoulder to right shoulder to your starting partner with 2 circles going in opposite directions. All dancers will do the same steps, but partners and circles will be traveling in opposite direction. Everyone needs to be partnered, so an odd numbered person should sit the dance out to avoid confusion. Gender should not be a consideration in partnering, but men should be in inside circle moving toward LOD, and ladies in outside circle going RLOD. Extra ladies go to inside circle
