Start: Man on the left, Woman on the
right, side by side, holding hands, facing up the hall.
Section I (8 bars in saltarello)
12 Saltarelli, starting Left.
Section II (8 bars in quadernaria)
Man Doppio Gallopado Left, ending with Mezavolta, returns
with Doppio Gallopado Right,
Woman the same, both ending facing each other.
Man Ripresa Gallopada Left, moving up the hall (sideways),
returns with Ripresa Gallopada Right,
Woman the same, (but she moves down the hall and then up).
Section III (in piva x 2)
Man Movimento, Woman responds, 4 Pive doing a right hand turn,
Woman Movimento, Man responds, 4 Pive in a left hand turn.
Section IIII (in Bassadanza)
Man leaves with Sempii Left and Right, Doppii Left, Right, and Left,
Woman the same,
Man Movimento, Woman responds,
Volta del Gioioso, such that the Woman ends in the lead.
Since we lead from the left side, this last Volta del Gioioso is done
with the man doing very small sempii moving only towards the back of
the hall, and then
doing a large ripresa right, while the Woman does her 2 sempii
travelling as far as she can to the left (and forward, so as to not
walk on him), and then does her ripresa very small.
Repeat dance, with the woman leading.
