Silver Celebration

Source: Anne Clayton; published in English Dance & Song, August 1965, Volume XXVII No. 4
Formation: Longways; Four Couples; Proper

A1 Ends meet in the Middle, Set R/L; Circle Left
WHILE Middles Cast to the Ends & Partner Swing
Reform the Set: 2, 1, 4, 3
A2 Repeat to Places
B1 Middles Full Figure Eight around nearest End Couple
B2 Lines Go Forward & Back
Bottoms Set Right & Left Up the Middle to the Top

Music:
32 bars.

Notes:
I am assuming that the #3s do their Figure Eight down through the #4s, but the document actually says through the #1s. Could get a bit crowded with two couples doing a figure eight around the same couple, but might be fun to try!
