Eric's crib, and Keith Rose's diagram follow the ECD interpretation of this dance as shown in the videos.  Whetherly Book 24 differs:

1-8    First and second couples dance right hands across in a wheel and back with the left hands

9-16  First couple lead down the middle and back

17-24  First and second couples allemande

25-28  First couple turn first corners with the right hand

29-32  First couple turn second corners with the left hand

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (?). 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.
