Chorus: #1 & #3: “birdcage”: #1, 2, 5, & 6 dance clockwise around the set while #3 & #4 dance around each other (like a whole gyp) in the center counter-clockwise; half hey. Repeat.
#2 & #4: “cannons” or “explode”: 4 double steps.

• #1: 1st corners move to just past the center (others dance in place);
• #2: 2nd corners move to just past the center (others dance in place);
• #3: 3rd corners move to just past the center (others dance in place);
• #4: all dancers “explode” outwards. Then modified half hey, moving in from “exploded” positions. Repeat.

Sequence: once to yourself, foot up, chorus/birdcage, crossover, chorus/cannons, back-to-back, chorus/birdcage, whole hey, chorus/cannons & all-in
