40-bar reel for two 3-couple sets, side by side

5-8 | 1st couples, 1st woman with 3rd couple, 1st man with 2nd couple, dance right hands across. Finish facing 3rd corners. |
9-16 | 1st couples half reel of four with 3rd corners, pass right shoulders, then half reel of four with 4th corners. 1st couples again pass right shoulders, to finish facing inwards in 2nd place on opposite sides. |
17-24 | 1st couples from the two sets dance full reel of four across the sets. Meanwhile, 3rd and 2nd couples set to partner, turn right hand with partners right round, and dance ½ reels of four across the sets.2nd and 3rd couples are now in the opposite set, in 3rd and 1st places, on own sides |
25-30 | 1st couples cross right hands with partner, then cast to their right (woman around 3rd woman, man around 2nd man) to dance in the top or bottom of the set. |
31-32 | Both 1st couples dance right hands across, half way round. |
33-34 | 1st couples retain right hands in the star, and join left hands with the dancers in the 'inside' lines of the two sets. 1st men will join with 2nd man or woman (in 3rd place), 1st women will join with 3rd man or woman (in 2nd place). These dancers all set. (Fig. 1) |
