The Tom Bombadil turn:
1st couple, giving right hands, cross, 1st man dancing above his partner while she dances under the arch made by their joined right hands and, with right hands still joined, 1st man curves clockwise while 1st woman curves anti-clockwise to finish next to each other in the centre in 1st place facing up. 1st woman has to start her anti-clockwise curve while dancing under their joined hands and 1st man has to dance past his partner before starting his clockwise curve.
The tune, Ho! Tom Bombadil, inspired the dance. I then composed March Madness as the second tune to be used in the music set, and Ho! Tom Bombadil must be repeated to make up the three required tunes.
