Comparison to the Playford version (Goddesses, version 1, 1st to 16th editions)
The only differences between this dance and the Playford version are very minor:  leading instead of holding hands as you arc and then circle in parts 2-5; the lack of a "double hey" and an "all circle" figure, the latter replaces by each half of the set doing a backwards circle.
Conclusion:
Exactly the same dance with only the minorest of variations - it even ends up with the same number of repeats despite missing 2 of the Playford figures.
