Interesting. I never call dances that instruct the dancers to walk
backwards. It always seemed awkward and hazardous on it's face. If I am
partnered in such a dance I will usually go ahead and dance it...but I
never walk backwards. I alter the dance so that I can walk normally.

have a vivid memory of dancing this at the Greenfield Grange in very
crowded conditions (many many years ago). During the 2nd backing up the
hall, I tripped over the foot of someone in the next line and fell on my
rear end. I looked up at the wall of people backing up towards me with no
idea that I had fallen. I never got to my feet so fast in my life.

.....
A2 Line of 4 lead down for 4, turn toward N to face up but keep backing
down the hall for another 4, then lead up for 4, turn toward N to face down
and keep backing up the hall, bending the line at the very end. The 1s are
below.
