This dance starts with a fugal sequence: 1c, 2c, 3c & 4c dance successively shorter variations of it, starting each 8 bars.
The first part of that sequence is repeated in [47–60], alternately up/down the set by 4c, 3c, 1c & 2c starting at 2 bar intervals.
All dancing up/down is with NHJ, all crossing movements are with RH.
All full turns are BH in 4 bars, all half turns BH in 2 bars.
When a (half) turn is followed by casting, open out to face down/up before casting up/down.
