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. |
