This dance can also be done as a contra dance (2 lines facing each other about 6 feet apart). Face the space between people in the opposite line. You could also touch palms with the people in the opposite line instead of clapping as you come together after the forward walk and touch. (When covid is no longer a problem, if that time ever comes)
