The Meeting Dance
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Maiden should lead. A man should place both hands on her waist,
|
|
standing behind her, and alternate men and women do the same, the
|
|
Maiden leading and they dance following her. She at last leads them
|
|
into a right-hand spiral. When the center is reached (and this had
|
|
better be marked by a stone) she suddenly turns round and dances back,
|
|
kissing each man as she comes to him. All men and women turn likewise
|
|
and dance back, men kissing women and women kissing men. All in time
|
|
to music, it is a merry game, but must be practiced to be done well.
|
|
Note, the musician should watch the dancers and make the music fast or
|
|
slow as is best. For the beginners it should be slow, or there will be
|
|
confusion. It is most excellent to get people to know each other at big
|
|
gatherings.
