In the original description 2c stepped up on [15-16]; the author, Kathy Lawmon, now writes "After publishing it in a book of dances called Dancing in Southsea, I realised myself when teaching it that it was better to step up on bars 11-12."

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
