SPLIT THE RING, DESCRIPTION
This version of "Split the Ring" comes from North Texas, and is a real "old timer."
The First and Third Couples dance three steps forward and three steps backward. They now dance forward and Right and Left Through, but do not turn around. As soon as the Head Couples have passed by their Opposites, they separate from Partners, the ladies dancing to their right and the gentlemen to their left, to pass between the vacant Head positions and the standing Side Couples, to the outside of the stt, and then dance behind the Side Couples to home place.
AH couples now "See-saw your pretty little Taw," and then dance "All around your Left Hand Lady," but to the call of "Do-si the Corner of the hall," which is just another term for this movement. |
