Ladies and Gentlemen, Please take partners and for long ways sets for Strip the Willow. The dance starts with the top couple turning by right arms one and a half times, the gentleman then presents the lady the the next man who turns her by the left arm, and then she turns with her partner by the right, and so on down the set. At the bottom is the mans turn to dance with the ladies, and they go up the set, always turning your partner by the right and others by the left. Upon reaching the top, we go down both side of the set at the same time. When we get to about the third or forth couple the next couple should start the dance.
