In this dance, a man moves from right to left around half a circle, while his female partner moves from left to right around half a circle. They have effectively exchanged positions. Then the partners can repeat this, making a 360 degree circuit back to their original positions. Each partner then can dance away from the circle in opposite directions, or as an alternative, the partners can dance twords each other along the diameter of the circle. Effectively, this choreography copies the straight lines or circles found in gardens.
