*Contra Circle set up & Movements: Outside circle faces inward while inside circle faces outward. When step touches are being executed, (Counts 3&4) dancers can slap hands with each other when they meet together. On the final 8 Counts (half circle/arch shuffle) dancers will end up on opposite circle when finished. Both dancers will complete half circles around each other (see drawing On the right). The contra circle is the most fun way to enjoy this dance. You can Also do this as a contra line or line dance.
*For partner dance & circle: Starting partner position is side-by-side, woman on man's right side, facing forward in lines. Men & women's steps are the same. During 1/2 pivots on Count 4: Partners release left hands and raising right hands resuming C/W open position. Count 8: Partners release right hands and raising left hands resuming side-by-side position. For circle dance a forward shuffle instead of a half circle.
