This is what we called the ``angel setting''. First you make sure you are dancing with someone you like!

The men are behind their partners taking both hands, with both hands joined both beginning facing corners, hands about shoulder height.

The men should be pretty close to their partners. You then dance hello-goodbye setting, remaining in this position throughout.  The men must go further each time, with more drive, else it it does not work. Staying close together helps a lot.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). 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.
