<br>
It is extremely chaotic! You can reduce the chaos slightly by getting the<br>
band to stop randomly during the circling, at which point everyone grabs a<br>
partner; the band waits a few seconds while everyone finds a partner and<br>
decides whether they are Heads or Sides, then gives two notes and starts the<br>
next Heads Gallop.<br>
<br>
I modify it to give a bit more recovery time:<br>
<br>
Start in a big square around the room<br>
A1: Head couples take partner in a ballroom hold and gallop eight steps<br>
into the centre and back<br>
A2: Sides gallop eight steps into the centre and back<br>
B1: All the men form an outer circle facing in, while the ladies form an<br>
inner circle facing out. All circle left then find a new partner<br>
B2: Partner Swing - stop early enough to decide whether you are now<br>
Heads or Sides - Heads get ready to gallop<br>
<br>
There is also The Muffin Man Jig:<br>
