Subject: The Craven Twelvesome

The Craven Twelvesome by Derek Haynes
4 x 32 Bar Reel
(Original: The Moving Cloud played as a reel)

Formation: 4 men, each with 2 lady partners, standing in a square set

1-8
    Each man dances a reel of three with his  partners,  starting  by
    passing right shoulders with his right-hand partner.
9-10
    Men advance with two setting steps to the centre.
11-12
    Men dance a right hand star half way round to opposite place.
13-16
    Men  cast  out  of  the set between their opposite ladies, travel
    clockwise behind the set and  emerge  between  next  ladies  (the
    ladies who were to the right of them originally).
17-18
    Head  Trios  (trios  now  in positions 1 and 3) advance for three
    steps and on the fourth step each lady joins both hands with  her
    opposite lady and dances half turn to change places.
19-20
    These new trios retire for four steps.
21-24
    Bars  17-20  are repeated by Side Trios (those in positions 2 and
    4)
25-32
    All circle left for eight steps and back for eight steps.

These 32 bars are repeated 3 times, so that everyone ends up back  in
their original places.
